Choices.... Help needed

Hi there,
used to be on Pistonheads a while ago (2000-2004, Nickname: ASONE, new email and loss of details forced change :)) - good to be back.

Currently run a 2005 535d until X3 arrives at the end of November. My company has recently "changed the rules" regarding cars - we now "have to" keep the cars for 12 months at a time (we can currently change them after 9.000 km's)

Since there's quite a bit of lead time I'll have to think about ordering pretty much right now and I'll have to stick with it. 535d is the dog's bollox but costs me a fortune plus its really too big for me (and the garage). X3 is also too big plus was intended for winter only.

Really, I am waiting for the 335i and 335d to come out, but they won't before September 06.

So I've been looking at the 330i/d touring or the 130i but can't make up my mind...

What are the thoughts of the PH massive :)
Thx
Felix

Thx for the advice guys - I think I'll go for the 3series, and I think it'll be the diesel. I know for a fact that there'll be a 335d (as will the 335i)- however it is unsure when. I think a one-series might suit me for size (no family) but think the touring sports version is a bit more masculine. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again !
