BMW always underrates their cars for insurance..
I bet 10 years ago you were saying: If I get a car with 200hp, it will be plenty..
It's not all about hp, it's about balance.. 350 will be plenty for 99.9% of us.
and since it will be turbo'ed - I am sure aftermarket will fill your desire to mod.

I'm not thrilled about the power numbers either, at least not when you consider the asking price. Sure the car can be tuned, but at the expense of warranty, and part of the reason for buying an expensive car is so you have something fast and the peace of mind that goes with it being a factory stock engine.

At 400Hp, I'd be satisfied with it, and I'd leave it alone, at least during the warranty period. At 350Hp there's just too many other cars out there that are as fast or faster for a lot less money.
