My Ride: E60
Guys, I'm contemplating getting a 335i hardtop (or 330i) and checked it out at
my local BMW dealer's.... The wife wants a convertible and I am really getting
sick of my diesel 'tick-tick-tick' E60!! I would go for a gas E60 but with the new
F10 coming up, it doesn't make sense.
Talk me out of it!!!!

Okay Mike here it is, the 335i is a ton of fun to drive.....BUT! It is definitely smaller, so it's not nearly as useful as an E60, it feels a tad unsafe compared to the size and mass of an E60, and it's not the head turner that the E60 is. Other than that, it's a push! 
Also, after driving an E60 for so long and then test driving a 335i, the 330 will seem like a dog! 
Good Luck with your decision! 
let us know how it all shakes out!
