'05 330i manual for an '07 335i sport/auto two weeks ago. Miss the e46's nimbleness but maybe that was just a byproduct of being very familiar with the car. The 335 is stupid fast. Overall very pleased.

Talking

also noticed that my e46 was nimbler..... think the dsc is activating too soon. I'm going to play around with DTC and see if it helps.

I drive my 330i with Sport package with DTC off almost all the time. The winter is the only time I turn it back on....

car went to the dealer today to have some bugs fixed, so i'm driving a loan e46 318i.....damn even with the 4-cylinder i miss the coupe...

e90 3.0l engine is fantastic, but there's definately something lost in the handling. not that the e46 was better, but it was a more rewarding driving experience. find that the 330 is so stupidly fast that the tracking control allways kicks in when driving hard. with the e46 you had to try harder, and carry a bit of speed in turns because you couldn't rely on the engine to blast you out of turns.

thinking of getting a used e46 330 cab for sentimental weekends
