I think it is a great ride -- for the price.

I got a black one and love it. To the OP, you own it to yourself to at least drive a 335 before you decide.
There are some things that I really didn't like about the IS, including:
Nice ride. Coupes were a four month wait, so I had to settle on the sedan as I didn't have patience. I got Montego with grey, although I wanted saphire. Btw, is yours saphire or jet black.
Alpine White was my second choice and looks really sharp. Beautiful wheels and the aero lip looks great.
Too slab sided for my taste. The IS350 is much more stylish imho.
The IS350 is only available with an automatic transmission if that is significant for you. The 335 is available with a 6 speed manual, which I ordered, and a 6 speed automatic. The 335 automatic is perhaps the best automatic transmission I have ever driven. Optional paddle shifters, blipping on downshifts and extremely fast gear changes.
Slab sided? The new 3 styling actually gets criticized for having too much "flame surfacing" (creases and contour). The BMW styling is the most three dimentional out of the two by far. Look at the IS, that is slab sided in comparison.
Sorry, the door doesn't look very integrated to my eyes. Just a personal preference/taste thing.
I like the 4 door 3 Series but the 2 door looks indeed like they fudged it. Both are still a bit Bangled (Bungled?) for me.

Drive a DSG in 'sport' mode, then you will see what quick gear changes are like. Jon.
