I'm actually contemplating either the e46 m3 or the 335 coupe.. I had a 330ci dinan before my e60 and I loved it great size and speed...but I wanted more...I was going to trade it in for the e46 M3 convertible b/c whats hotter than a girl (me) driving a modded m3 convert 
...then i saw C's e60 a few times on my way to work and was like hmm the e60... Now after having the E60 for 1 1/2 years I love the car but I really dont need all the room it provides.... So like you V and Krozi i'm thinking of trading it in for the 335 coupe or a e46 M3 convertible..both I would modd so it wont look like everyone elses......
As for the girl factor .me being a girl there really isnt a difference for me when i see a guy or a girl driving a 1,3,5,6,7,8 or an M... I'm always just like nice Bmw heres mine...lol... I guess b/c most of my cars have been BMW's and guys have always thought wow that girl drives a N I C E BMW ...... The point is actually I lost track of my point
get and do what you want when it comes to driving and buying a bmw b/c what you think is all that matters!!.
Good luck with your decision you cant loose with either one of them!!

I love the new 3 series coupes. Between a V6 5 series and a 335, I would definitely go with the 3. I think it will be a lot more fun. However, between a V8 5 series and a 335, my vote is for the e60. I just made this decision myself and went with a 550 and I don't regret it at all. The 335 is probably better/more fun with the twisties, but I'm rarely on those type of roads and I love the pure power of the 550. Not to mention the increased status and comfort of the 5 as opposed to the 3.

Got a quote on both my trade in and a new 335 coupe. the 335 coupe is sport, prem, Nav, ipod/usb and some other minor goodies, but no heated seats or the cld wthr pk. Not sure about PDC - don't remember now. It is Space Grey over black lthr with that annoying brown wood (which I'd definitely wrap in CF 
); long story short, here's the skinny:
lease 645/mo on 36mos/10k per yr with true 0 down (1st pmt and reg out of pocket)
my 06 530Xi (fully loaded) they'd give my 22k for. I owe ~24.5, so I'd have to come up with the difference probably to remain even.
I didn't bargain with the lady over the prices yet, so this is SERIOUSLY preliminary numbers, but its already ain't that bad IMHO

get the e46 M3 - we'll race and I'll run circles around you if I get the 335
The 335i will be on par stock, and faster with a JB3....on a straight line
Around the track the M3 will kill a 335i! 
Also, your 335i will go into limp mode after the 3rd lap hahahaha
