I haven't read up too much about tuning the 335 but it can't see how it would be a nightmare to tune being already TT'd and a monster of a motor. But you did say for the TRACK, which it was never made for.

The cayenne yes I have to admit it's a quick SUV, but it's still a big ol' SUV. I don't really know what they were thinking when they made that besides trying to cash in on the US market for a novelty type of car. Not one of my favorites but then again there's never been a car manufacturer that hasn't made some poor model choices along the way.

And the fuel pump issue, hmm I have to research that. I haven't read up a lot about the comments people make toward the car besides initial testing from car magazines etc and my own driving experiences with the car. I do remember them saying something about the overheating issue due to the lack of an oil cooler (just like the Z), but I believe they fixed that for the new model year and retro fitted all previous years with the coolers.

And as far as leasing it and not owning it, I'm not too sure I agree with you on that one but to each his own. I've had experiences with a late model 840ci, two 7 series, and two 3 series and none of them gave us any trouble. And the cars were driven everyday with a decent amount of miles on them. Needless to say they weren't beaten on by any means so I'm sure there were a few problems I potentially avoided by not participating in aggressive street driving with any of them (except the new 335 i'll flog on every once in a while but no problems yet knock on wood).
