Aren't really comparable. Not nearly the same cargo volume and IMO the 3 series is very small (of course I'm coming from the X5 and a 545). The only real beni (aside from BT and other electronic gizmos) would be the TT motor. So if you must race to the ski slopes....that would be nice. IMO, I wouldn't do it. If anything I would go for the 535xi when it becomes available.
