Advice on 2007 335i
I drove one of these not long after they came out and thought it was a nice ride. I'm thinking about it again now.
What should I be paying and would I be smarter to go with a 2006 330ci even though it has less power? I'm no BMW expert and will be checking out BimmerForums to learn more, but I thought I would check out this place for our BMW experts.

The general consensus is that the performance of the 335i is *vastly* superior to the 330i. There were/are some teething problems WRT the 335i, like the HP fuel pump.
I drive a 328iT (station wagon). I would have ordered a 335iT had BMW imported the model. |

I'm not sure I know a single 330i owner that doesn't wish he had the 335i instead.

My wife would not have appreciated making my dog ride in the trunk. But were it not for the wife and the dog, I woulda bought a 335i. Well, the wife, the dog and the bags of groceries.

I test drove a 335i before I got my 328xi. The 335 is vastly superior in performance IMO. It had the sport suspension which was phenomonal. Very quick too.
I would have preferred the 335 but I wanted the AWD and to save a few thousand. I can still bang around in my sister's M3 and not get as many speeding tickets.

I saw this thread pop back up. I ended up getting a used(16k mi) '08 535i and like it. I'll get pics up soon if it will not rain for more than 18hrs.
