Prices are out for the 335i as well - you can build your own on the bmw.co.uk website.
http://ecom.bmwgroup.com/ecom32/GB/BMW/en/...452367466483678
?33,420-00 before any options. SE only for the time being - no m-sport yet.
I'm really feeling like I want a coupe.
So do I get an 06 330ci with toys for around ?30K or do I wait and order (without even having seen it) the 335i plus bluetooth and nav for around ?35k or wait even longer for a 335i m-sport?
It's doing my head in - 330ci is a great deal of car for the money, but it's going to look old soon. But if I get the new model - on recent history it's going to have some problems at launch.
Help please?

Do u mean an E46 330Ci? If u do....please wait for the E92 and in 335 or also in 330 version. Buying an old model now is not smart and as soon as u will see the new model on the road you will regret your choice.
But then ... it will look old very quickly.

Yeah ... but I love the old model and (in theory) I should be able to pick one up nice and cheap precisely because the new model is coming.
But then ... it will look old very quickly.

While the E92 will have the newest techniques and it will definitely be more fun to drive. And that is besides the fact that indeed the E46 will look old and dated as soon as u will start seeing the E92 on the streets.

Wait for the E92 Sport... the extra time will be worth it eventually: I'm speaking from the experience of buying both an E46 coupe and then later an E60 as SE's, after being unable to wait both times... won't make the same mistake again. Still loved both cars, but the Sport just always looks better with a BMW IMHO, has slightly better detail, and has a better resale...
It's the law of sod - my last car was a 320cd - I would have jumped at a 330i and now I could afford to get one - but have this model change problem - arse.

?1,200 for leather! Ouch again!
Just 'easily' spec'd a ?38k car - and the optional alloys aren't on the configurator yet... So ?39k then! (I bet no dealer will be forthcoming with discounts either!)

I wouldn't expect any discounts for a good 6 months or so
