330xi
 

Looking for thoughts. I need a new daily driver for the wife.

get the new 335i coupe

The xi is an excellent car if you get rain or snow. (Could NOVA = Nova Scotia?) I don't think there has been much word on whether there will be a 335xi and/or 335xiT but since there is definitely a 328xi in sedan, coupé, and touring versions I would assume the 335 versions will follow later.

I guess you could go with a 328xi now. You can build them on bmwusa.com.

The 335xi sedan will start production in March of '07. If you want an '07 3 sedan, you have the 328xi sedan and coupe now. Otherwise you'll need to find something off a dealer lot.

Where are you located? If by NOVA you mean Northern Virginia, I can likely help out.

Thanks for the input. I just added a 2003 330xi to the camp. Its fully loaded (from the rooter to the tooter: sport package, cold weather, steptronic, moonroof, pdc, xenon, nav....). Yes, I do live in Northern VA. Picked it up for about 25k with 45k miles. Got 6 year 100 mile maint. And 100k miles on warranty. Now the hard part is going to be getting the keys from my wife.

Congrats! I thought you were talking about the E90/E92 3ers. You've gotta be specific around us Bimmerphiles. ;)

Yea, I know. I am not sure, but I think this is an E43, but I am not sure? I got a chance to really drive it Sat, and I couldn't get the smile off my face. Money well spent! Ill post pics after I get a chance to detail her.

330Xi's are nice cars!! Congratz!!

Congrats on your E46! Please do post pics.

Congrats Welcome to the E45/E53 owners club
