The e39 was a locomotive. It was super comfortable and super fast. It felt smaller than it was, but wasn't particularly nimble. One thing it did feel was very special. I always felt good driving it.
The 335 was quicker off the line (the e39 had horribly intrusive traction control) and more nimble, but felt very pedestrian in comparison. The e39's strength was getting places VERY fast and very comfortably. Highway merging/lane changing acceleration was awesome. The 335 was a competent car, better in all weather, but never really lit my fire.
