F10 to e90 335i ?

[bmwmike]

Hi

Currently have a F10 530i and I find it a great car. However I've just seen a manual 2009 335i and must admit I'm tempted.

I've never driven a lci e90, I'll miss the boot space of the F10 but I had an e46 for years and coped OK even with small kids and prams etc. I do miss the drive of the e46 though and manual, do e90's squat under breaking like e46 ?

How does the e90 compare to F10 in refinement on the road? I know the interior doesn't compare. Presumably e90 is more chuck able. Both are msport BTW.

Especially interested in views from anyone who has gone "back" from a F10 to e90.

Thanks
Mike

Thanks everyone. Lots to think about. Took the 530 out for a little bit of a hoon last night and it's quite a capable tank round the corners. I think I'll pass the 335 for now.
