2008 BMW 3 Series Coupe 335xi 2dr Coupe AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6M)
Great car, but less sporting than E46
 Coming to the 335xi coupe from a '00 328Ci, the 335xi is a more grown-up and far more powerful car.  The engine lives up to its reputation and then some.  Amazing low end torque - really does feel like a V8.  This makes the 335xi a very different animal from the traditional BMW inline-6 car, and while quicker, it feels somewhat less sporting.  With the old inline-6s (and presumably the new 328) you really had to spool up the engine.  Now, you don't have to push it and if you do you're soon over the speed limit.  Great fit and finish.  The xi drive is fantastic in poor conditions, although the xi suspension is softer than in my old E46 (more body roll).  All-in-all, very happy with it.
