Yup, that would be me. I had a set of snows for my E39 and the car was awesome in the snow. "If I could have any wish, it would be to couple the new twin-turbo six with my e39SP. Might not EVER consider parting with it." I posted the exact same sentiment a month or two back. An E39 with the new twin turbo six would be an absolute PERFECT car. Best Regards, Shipo

Replying to: lovemyclk (Feb 24, 2007 2:03 am) Thanks...I think the extra weight of the 328xi might give the ride a little more of a 5-like ride experience. I drove a 335i coupe when my '03 530 was in for service. Very fast but felt a little light when pushed - at least to me (and I know what that can feel like since my other car is a 2006 MX-5). I think the extra weight in the 3-series x models might be a good thing for ride compliance/stability even though straight line performance is sacrificed. I want to drive the new 335i convertible for my next test drive Speaking of extra weight.
