After two years of driving there comes the time look some change.
Options are quite small, like in my opinion after driving the best
wagon in the market. There is not yet F11 with xdrive in the
market and the new one would be too much for me anyway.
I was extremely happy with my E61 but I dont want buy same
only for less kilometers.
I try to find something different.
Look Audi A5 with 3.0TDI but i just dont like it and also dont like
the brand...
New one to me is now three years fresher 335cxiA with quite/enough low kilometers,
m-sport package, sport seats..
335 gives different driving feelings and its quite a beast with
two turbos and the best is that its still BMW.

congrats on the new 335. thats a great car with m-sport pack as well. its also a totally different beast to your 530d!! Twin turbo petrol vs single turbo diesel, not to mention the 3er feeling quicker and more agile than the 5er -- I bet you're loving it! 
did you go for a Touring or is it a coupe? (You wrote "c" in the name above, but not sure if that was intentional or not?)
I think you've been here long enough now to know that you can't go posting something like this without posting any pictures!
so come on, post some pics...

Thanks for sharing the pics, looks great 
The E92 m-sport is IMHO one of BMW's finest designs and the alpine white paint really shows off the lines. I am obviously a 5er fan, but I can understand why you went for this car !
What rims are you going to use in summer?

Nice choice! The compactness of the e92 gives it a nimbleness that makes you want to accelerate faster into corners. I like the m kit because it totally transforms the car.

I like the driving pleasure what E61 give and i can find the same
but in aggressive package with this E92

front are 225 / 40 / 18
rear 255 / 35 / 18

My Ride: 535d Fully loaded
I did the same change as you!
Used to have a E61 35d and now i drive an E92 35i, and i am very very happy!
The car is agile, and fun! Obvious not so confortable as the E61 but still quite nice!
Enjoy the E92!

Enjoying mmitev, yes
Hellraiser, Its nice to read that you have make the same movement..
It is true that E61 is more comfortable, but E92 fits like the glove to the
hand and with that engine its gives the pleasure moments..
