What does an is give you over a regular 335?
Personally, if you don't need an M car, the 335 (in whatever form) probably makes a better daily car...the mpg on an M makes for frequent fuel stops. I mean, not complaining about the cost, which is part and parcel of owning a V8, but sometimes you do wish for a larger fuel tank.

You'll pay the premium for:
- DCT - excellent & available only in M3 & 335is.
- Performance Exhaust - some claim unique config for 335is
- Diff engine map + overboost
- Add'l water cooling
- N54 engine w/some enhancements for overboost
The major bennies. However....335is suspension same as 335i.
