I have a dilemma.Not a bad one, although a hard decision to make.Just torn between two great choices.Help sway me one way or another.Here it is.I can pick up a Certified 2006 330i with Sport,Premium,and active steering for a great price that I could own in 5 years or go with new '07 335 similarly equipped car for a very attractive lease that I could easily walk away from in 2 years.Or at lease-end I could by the car out.What do you guys think?

335. It has a turbo dude...actually two of them.

I know about the turbo and now am finding out about the ability to possibly tune the 335i as well.And I actually have a 335i on order, but this great deal for the 330i just fell into my lap.Basicly I can pick up the 330i at trade-in value.Something about it is just telling me to let it go though and hold out for the 335i.Both of these cars are sedans by the way as I need the 4 doors.

trade-in value sounds really nice - on a really nice car.

I've had my 335i coupe for a month now, manual. It is the finest automobile I've ever owned- and that includes the '92 911 Targa I used to have. If you want M like speed and incredible comfort and handling, get the 335i. It has surpassed all my expectations. Mine has the sport package, luxury package, Voice command with Idrive and a ipod adapter. It's awesome!!!!!!!!!

you will be very disappointed if you buy the 330 and then go and drive a 335 and you will hate yourself for not getting the 335. If I was not in the situation I am in, I would be getting a 335i asap!

If you can get into the 330i for 30k ish then get the 330i. b/c in a year the 335 will be worth the same thing. handling wise there is no difference. but straight away speed the 335 is faster.

Well we're talking about $33K for the 330i.It Has Sport,Premium,Active Steering,Xenons,and Logic 7.It would include a CPO warranty until the end of 2011. And the deal with the 335i is it would be a lease which would be about $250 less a month because its a lease.Although it's only a 2 year lease and at the end I could buy it for about the same as what I could get the 330i now.

Would you mind telling me how exactly youve come across the deal on the 330? I am going to possibly be making a similar decision in a matter of months. The best prices ive seen for 330's are still in the 34-35 range non-CPO.

The only way to go is with a 335i. I see 330's all the time and feel sorry for the person driving the car, because they could have waited and got a 335i.

Honestly, the 335 is an awesome car with great power and handling, as well as, luxury.

I would pass on the 330 and pay 15k more for the 335i.

I would go for the 335i for you. I have a 328i coupe being delivered this weekend (maybe Monday) and I fully intend to upgrade to the 335i when I can afford to do so and give the 328i to a family member. Having 230hp in a BMW is awesome but having ~330 is just unreal! You might be paying less for the 330i, no doubt, but you are not getting as much.

If the additional speed of the 335i is not a big deal to you the 330i is certainly a great car. It is everything the 335i is but just not as fast. However, if the additional speed/acceleration is important to you then go for the 335i and cut out some of the unnecessary options if you want to save some money.
