...I'm really wishing I waited until the 335i came out. I can't believe how much higher the level of performance is (according to the car mags). The new 335 is about as fast as the outgoing M3. I've been wanting to test drive one, but I'm concerned that I'll end up trading in my '06 which would just be stupid, financially.

So did anyone here ever trade in a new car after one year cause a newer model came out?

Nothing wrong with finding out how much more to do it

would probably be cheaper to put a blower on your 330.

The 330 block is magnesium and aluminum. Not really great for FI.

Yeah, but what if I get hooked???

We traded in a car after a year and ended up upside down twice. I don't regret doing it either time.

Yeah i'm in the same boat as you. I got a 330i as well. Then 3 months after i got it the 335i came out. It really pisses me off! I'm thinking after a year is up i'll get rid of this car on leasetrader or something. The 330i is a great car, but... the 335i is even better. I don't know if i can keep this car for three years knowing that the 335i is that much better.

I'm not going to test drive one for that reason exactly. Every time I drive my car after that i have a feeling i will be disappointed. I do, however, love the looks of my car with ZSP and the handling is great for a sedan, especially coming from an s2000. Just wish the extra power was there. Oh well, I keep telling myself that "I would never really need that extra horsepower."

Wow, im glad im not in that boat. I would wait it out for at least a yr. Thats why when the 1 series comes, i'm waiting for ALL the engine models to come out. (its gonna drive me nuts)

Give the 330 at least two years. Smarter financially, and do you really want to buy a twin turbo 6 cylinder engine in its first year (or two) of production? Let somebody else be the guinea pig.
