Why? I'd wait for another year if you really want a 330, just to get the bugs out.

I think it would be very difficult to get back into a 3 after being used to the interior space of the 5.

Even if its 330 it is sportier but no big space for driver no trunk space I like it on my shelf 1:18 and prefer e60
IMO I do NOT agree that e90 has better quality, what are those who say this wanna have breytling clocks and plasma tv?? then buy Bentley

The problem with the 3series will be that there will be so many of them, but.... with 1.8l engine, 2l engine..... just cheap ones, but many, ordinary cars....
So even with 330i you will be just one out of many many many.
But our E60 is just class for itself, and basicaly you do not see much smaller engine than 2.5l...
)
But this is as for comparison since you have the E60 now. Other than that 330 is a great car.

I wouldn't listen to all that talk about the E90 being a "commoners" car. At least around where I live, it's not like E60s are in short supply either. I see 4 or 5 everytime I hop in the car and drive around town.
IMO, these are two different cars suited for two different lifestyles. It really comes down to what fits you better. For me, I just can't deal with a sedan, and I definitely don't need all that interior space. I'm rarely carrying more than one passenger, so no one has to suffer in the backseat of my coupe too often. YMMV.
The E60 is a sweet car. I still drool everytime I see one on the street. But, it's not on my list at the moment.

i would agree, our e60 is fine as hell 
... but its not such a high class. like bukerine i see 5+ everytime i go out.... this may be unfair because i live around Naples, FL which is just about one of the wealthiest places ull ever find... (not uncomon to see multiple bentleys, astin martin, mb AMG's).... i cant lie though, i look at all the e60's i see on the road, but then again i look at the new 3 and the new 7 every time too
