Picking it up on Friday. I'm still keeping the E60 for the next 4 years. I still love the E60 but I really missed the lower stance and tighter handling of the 3er. The E60 will be my wife's main car and will also be the car to use on long trips. I hope I'm not betraying the brother/sisterhood.......

It's a 2008 CPO, 328I CV, Sapphire black, 40K on the clock, and I specifically looked for (and found) one with an iDrive since I'm so used to it now. Even though it's not a 335I, I can still squeeze a lot of speed out of 230 horses.

Congrats, yes it's not an E60, but it is still in the family, so no loyalty broken. Besides, it's cool, enjoy it.

Nice choice, that is a sharp 3! Glad you kept your E60 also!

I've got a feeling the E60 won't be the only one to get used for road trips

Thanks guys, I, too, have a feeling that the E60 won't be the only one for long trips.
As for modding, I'm an old-fashioned type who tries to keep his cars as stock as possible. Modded the heck out of my 911 and, although sweet, it left me with a bitter taste in my mouth.
I'm still against RFTs, but since these tires are brand new, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and evaluate them for a while before replacing them with regular tires, if ever. Is it true that you get the low-air warning permanently when switching to regular tires?

Congrats on the new ride.

I myself am pondering a second ride and my route is currently pointing to a 3er coupe. Still plan on keeping the E60 as well.
