Agreed - an option upgrade to the Bose would be welcome.

Our VQ37 will never match the torque responsiveness of BMW's E54. That motor is an engineering marvel. Many say it's grossly underated in the specs, and I'll need to agree.

While the power delivery is smooth on the E54, you'll need to wind the VQ out - that's where it really delivers. As much as I like the 335i, it's a cruiser that can go fast. I find more involvement in the Z that makes daily driving fun; and for cheap.
