Yuppified early in life, as a high-school student I lusted for a BMW 320i while my friends drooled over Camaros and Firebirds. To this day, a 3 Series remains my dream car, and after driving the glorious new 335i Coupe I spent serious time shopping a lease on an identical dark gray over red leather sample. Alas, doubling my existing payment is not in the cards, and so the Mazdaspeed Miata remains in the garage. But I’m still dreaming of, and lusting for, the stunning 335i.
