I think if you want to buy a $25K car when your 335i comes off lease, you should just buy your 335i. That's what I did. You can negotiate yourself a huge break off the residual.
The Evo 9 is a blast to drive, but compared to the 335i, it is:
1) Very loud
2) Very rough riding suspension
3) Has a TON of turbo lag. You thought 29.2 was bad?
4) Is predominantly a FWD car most of the time and the forward weight bias is very obvious from behind the wheel. The engine sits out in front of the front axle and you can feel it up there when you turn the wheel.
5) Probably gets worse MPG than the 335 if anything
You'll be unhappy in the long run. After a week of driving it, the fun will wear off and you'll wish you had the comfort and all around excellence of the 335 back.
YMMV!
