Where did you pull that from? The 335i's are more or less on the same ground in terms of raw performance in stock trim. If nothing else, the older E9X N54 powered 335i is really the true gem of the N motors.

Are the lights in the seats a deal breaker? If they are, why even consider the car?

What does the flap have to do with anything?
