Looking at the two cars, the 5 is a nicer car, but is it worth the extra cash?
Did you go for a 3 and buy a 5?

I went to buy at 330i 6Spd and ended up getting the 550i spd. For me it came down to:
1. 5 has much better space. The 3 seating is very tight and felt a little bosed it.
2. 5 is just builit stronger than the 3 and has a very different driving feel, especially with respect to flat cornering.
3. Interior looks more upscale.

Well it had better be more upscale for the extra $20,000!!!!

I don't think the 5 is a better car, only a bigger car. I'd even go so far as to say the 3 is better if the space is satisfactory.

I compared the two interiors and the 3er had slightly better materials and appearance all in all.
