135 or 2003 330?

I sold my Z3 Coupe a few months ago and am about to need to buy a new car. I was thinking I might by a POS that will last until the 135 comes out, or go ahead and get a 2003 to 2005 330.

I'm a little worried that the 135 might be a little small for me over the next several years, but then again, I would consider a 330 sedan/coupe/vert so....

Also, I can pick up a 330 for the mid-20's and I have a feeling the 135 is going to run mid-30's.

Any input?

On the flip side, my (totally frickin' awesome) wife told me I should just find a 2002 M Coupe and buy it!!! I've also thought about a 3.0CSi as well.

As you can see, I'm all over the map on this.

That's a beautiful car. Good luck finding one.

The 135i reminds me of an 2002 or E30 updated for the 21st Century. I think that it's a great blend of the old and new, so I'm a litle biased in favor of the 1er coupe. It's nice to have choices though and you have some good ones.

If you're thinking about an M coupe, then your justification of not getting a 135i due to its size should be thrown out the window.

If you can afford to, I'd suggest you wait until the 135i comes out and then decide.

Good luck.

I'm losing my 2006 330i for the 135i. The 332ti I have will be pretty similar to the 135i. A lot of the interior pictures (especially of the trunk interior, rear seating area, and folded seat pictures) are extremely similar.

Ibeam81, funny you mention what the 135i reminds you of. I was just thinking about that yesterday, and came up with the idea that the 135i looks like the love child of a 1991 325is and the Z4 to me.

LOL... I can't definitely see that relationship, too. Interestingly it doesn't sound that appealing on the surface, but the end result is pretty smashing IMHO.
