I know this is not about the e46 but i currently drive and e46 330i and i am ready for an upgrade and have couple interests in mind and i want to hear it from you guys which one i should go for. So through all the bmws and my price range i came down to 2 of my favorites. 2007 335i and an 2004 530i my questions is which one i should go for and why? Power and reliability wise. Gas mileage does not really matter to me because i am fine with paying 3.30$ for Gallon. Also do these cars also have a problem with their cooling system?

Never heard anybody say they didn't mind the price of gasoline. Huh.

rather have the 335 myself, it's 9/10ths an M3

I think it's a safe assumption that cooling systems in BMWs are all weak. Plan for it and expect it and you'll be fine. The thing with the 335 is the HPFP. No consensus on whether BMW fixed it or not. E60 is probably a nice car, it just looks like a bag of ass.
