If you're looking for a car with iDrive make sure it's a 3/07 build or later, otherwise it will be missing the row of programmable soft keys on the dash.

Also, if you're moving to the 335i because it can be modded so easily, you might want to reconsider - BMW is adding a lot of sensing equipment in the new DMEs that can detect overboost and such.

Yes, the tuners are working on it, but just be warned, because if it flags your car, you lose your powertrain warranty.
