Right now i have a 2005 330Ci w/ SMG
I love the car to death but i'm moving from boston to las vegas, and a 2 door is less feasible as a day to day driver now. I'm an avid BMW fan and i'm not interested in any other manufacturer Right now i'm operating on a very short list 335i Sedan 550i (is it worth saving $$$ on a 530i) X5 I'm really having trouble deciding between the sporty features of the 3, the luxury of the 5 or the luxury SUV |

This depends on what you are looking for. If you get an SUV are you going to get dissapointed about it not being as sporty as your previous car? I think that a 550i would be almost a best of both worlds.
Or you could wait for the new M3 to come out I am pretty sure that they are gonna make a 4 door version. It will be prob. be about 20 grand more than the 550 though. |

I would upgrade to the new X5 coming out.
I'm thinking of getting one myself actually. I drive a 6er, if you can afford it I would go for that as a second choice. |

FWIW, although I am an Audi driver and not a fan of SUV's at all, I think the X3 (not X5) is pretty neat.

[/ QUOTE ] i think 90% of the selling point to me on the X5 might be that F-15 style shifter. basically my situation is that i'm living alone in vegas but will have a fair amount of visitors, so looking good and having space are a little more important to me than pure speed Anyone have an opinion on the 335i sedan as far as back seat comfort |

Go with the 550. Fast and fun to drive and it should be in a different class when compared to the 530. It is like night and day in regards to performance.

i have a X5 4.4i sports package and it drives like a car with great power throughout the rpm. the sportspackage suspension is a little stiff for a urban road and i'd choose a softer normal package if i were to choose again. the truck space is very small, smaller than most cars and gas milage is terrible at 13-15 city driving. bmw is more of a drivers car so expect a little sacrifice in comfort for performance and road handling feel. but overall i'd go for the new 335 with the turbo charged engine.
