Any 335i owners "itching" to upgrade to F-series M3/M4?

I'm a bit disappointed and baffled with the new M3/M4. Yes, it looks good outside. But on paper wise it is disappointing again considering the now egregious amount of money the buyer is going to be throwing at it. ~$85k fully loaded.



Let's begin why anyone should be disappointed.



3585lbs - not much of a big difference between this and the E90 M3s.



-HP is up 2.6% ?!? ONLY?



-TQ is up 37% to 406ft-lb .. ok great. But a tuned 335i can get these numbers too.



-I truly hate, how they just sort of used/borrowed similar sized/spec of the n54 engine. For example:



3.0 Liters = N54 / M4

Twin Turbo = N54 / M4



To me, I feel like they just beefed up the internals a little bit, increased the boost and fuel, maybe, just maybe used slightly lighter weight engine materials and now charge you 25% more for this car.



What I want, is something UNIQUE. Feel like I'm buying recycled technology. No new concepts. Just borrowed from existing idea and called it a day.



The old M3 was ~$72k loaded. Now the new M3/M4 is nearly ~$85k loaded.



Look, at some point, when the next gen M3/M4 hits ~$100k loaded, it simply just doesn't make any more sense because no fan boy is going to pay that much when you are entering exotic price territory for others. One could get a beautifully looking R8, Aston Martin V8, 911, or lightly used Gallardo (which would pick up more ass than an M4).
