You can get the turbo model for a few thousand more. Then there is the V6 model.

ATS engine choices vary from 202 hp to 320 hp.
3-series: 180 - 300 hp.
C-class: 200 - 302 hp.
G sedan: 328 hp.
 
The V-6 model we had for weeks was quite fast, really did well.

Got mid twenties mpg even with lead footed Wife at the wheel.

A great car, just a bit small IMO.
 
BMW released the M Performance power kit that bumps the HP and Torque on the 2012+ 335i similar to the the old "is" option.

The upgraded specs:
320 HP 332 Ft*lbs(Auto) 317Ft*lbs(Manual)

Yes, that would be one cool daily driver, especially upgraded; turbos/intercoolers/tuned/etc.

Yep, more so with the new GM 7spd manual transmission they are working on. I know that gear box isn't only going to be used in the Corvette.

Throw on some of their electromagnetic shocks, carbon brakes, price it at $60k and you have a real RS4, M3, C63 AMG competitor!

GM has all the kit in house to build a car to play with the big boys, if the CTSV is any indication they will!

That would really be a good segment for them considering the Japanese are not in it, and the Koreans don't really have the technology yet; also the other two American manufactures are not in it either.
