I was all set to place an order on a E90 330i, then started to wonder if I should go with the E90 330xi since I live in Toronto. The problem is I have never driven an AWD BMW before. Could someone with driving experience with both offer some insight on how they compare, even if it's between the E46 330i and 330xi. Will the xi take away from the driving pleasure or do they pretty much feel the same ? Does anyone have any information on the price and options that will be available for the 330xi (Canadian version). Thanks.

If you're not sure whether you want the AWD or not, I recommend waiting until you can drive one: the dealerships should have tester cars relatively soon. It's worth waiting an extra month to make sure you don't regret your choice later.

Base MSRP C$50,500. All option prices same as 330i with the exception of Sports Package which is C$2,000 but it doesn't have sports suspension. All xi has its own suspension tunings.
