awesome choice! From all the info that ive seen and from driving both, I believe 335i is actually more powerful car than e46 m3, by a slightest bit. however, 335i is NOT a track beast like your car...

if you get a 07 model, make sure it has the oil coolers (2 metal valves crossing horizontally in front of the engine) as some earlier 07 models do not have them.

sports pkg is a must.

please, please get a CPO, as there are too many 335i that were driven like it was stolen. too much risk with private deals.

when you do look a CPO, make sure you thoroughly read the carfax and see if it had any issues. ASK if the car had HPFP failures.

make sure the tires are new or at least 3/4th tread is left. if not, it is not CPO standard.

when you get the car, dont believe the stealer (dealer) telling you extended warranty is over 3000. they should be under 2k!

I'll add any other things that comes in my mind later but its late now and I will be going to bed! good luck.
