Here are a couple of pics of our new 335 and our 04' E46. The E46 just feels classic to me. The E90 is great but I believe the E46 will always be remembered as the last BMW with a dipstick!

And still looking great...

What colour do you have on the E90, haven't seen it before...

BRUM,
The E90 is Sonora which many on this board don't seem to like but I think it looks great with the tan leather and Poplar wood. The color changes dramitically with different lighting. The car constantly recieves compliments. Thanks for yours! Cheers

Keep the E46 a while longer and the age won't make a difference. Like fine wine, it will mature into something beautiful - kind of like the E30's above. BMW's age well, try comparing your car to a 98 American or Japanese model. Now tell me if it looks aged or not?

The E46 is a classic in the making. For some it will be considered the pinnacle of 3-series design. That's why you have to give Bangle credit for moving in a different direction with the E90. The E90 had to be different, otherwise it would have ended up being like the E46, but not as nice. The new styling delivered (esp. the E92) but the E46 will always be beautiful.
