For coupes, BMWUSA sells pretty equal numbers between the 328i and the 335i. Junes sales were 736 vs. 837 respectively. YTD figures show they are nearly identical in sales.

For sedans, it's a very different story. In June 2007, the 328i outsold the 335i nearly 4:1. Total sales were 4234 vs. 1333 respectively. YTD show their is a 4:1 ratio as well.

It's hard to tell how that will translate to a new model though. Thought I'd post, since there was a guesstimate of sales between models.
