Basically the power output was chosen for balance based upon want the majority of BMW 3ser owners are going to want.

Yeah, and I bet as soon as the 415+HP '08 M3 comes out in the fall, '07, you'll see BMW up the '08 335i's HP/TQ numbers to it's "real" HP/TQ numbers (without really touching a thing on it).
