A family member has a regular 335i (2014) and that car is a blast.

I'm seriously considering one for a dd right now actually.

He leases all of his cars. If you are looking to build equity in a car don't lease. If you look at it like you are always going to have a car payment, leasing isn't a horrible idea.

They get really good gas mileage even with a tune and a few mods. I get like 30 highway on a 16psi tune

Mines a 2007 too so a 2014 is probably way nicer

They are nicer however he doesn't get 30mpg with his.

He averages around 24 to 25 on the highway and 26 to 28 in town

Definitely a cool car. I'm not a big BMW fan by any means but that little car holds its own.

It's neck and neck with my srt8 until about 130 where I can pull on it from there

Today is the day I find out if I keep my 335i or not

I know the cpu holds stored events so I don't expect them to take over 30 minutes to tell me why it goes into limp mode, I know these assholes will try to rip me off though.

About to take a few mods off though, got an hour before the appointment.

They'll plug in your key and know exactly what was done to it lol. They're going to tell you the mods caused whatever issue and its not their problem.
