thanks everyone. for the record the 335d will replace my gfs 330i as her primary commute car (she'll be using it 3 days out of 5 and I'll be using it 2 days out of 5 of my commute days). i'll be using the 330i for the time being as my primary commute car. I'm thinking of replacing the 330i soon but as of right now haven't decided on what yet.
