Except for track types and the most demanding enthusiast, I don't see the need to go up to the bigger engine at around $5-6K more, unless one just wants to.
This seems like a solid bargain for this type of performance. Adjusted for inflation I paid about $5,000 more for a near-stripper 325i in '05. (0-60 7.1 sec, 16" wheels) and it seems about the same size up front.
