True enough on both counts. I found the X1 shift points too soft for me -- it didn't really want to shift at the time that I would. Having said that, the manual portion of the tranny does provide better control.

Yes - the M3-style carbon fibre interior and the fit and finish of the 335 were far superior to that of the X1 - and the whole thing cost less than the X1-M sport I was looking at. More, however, than 'just' a loaded X1.
