You seem to have two main grumbles.
1) Harshness over broken pavement: fixed by replacing tires
2) Rear seat head room: this one is definitely ridiculous. The car is taller, but has less rear head room.
Is there a cargo area under the rear seat or something?
I definitely liked the handling, clutch, and shifter feel of the E90 325 SP I drove. I'd have to spend more time in a 330 before making a real decision, but based on my one drive (and good amount of riding while it was being thrashed) I'd seriously consider an E90 330.
Would I pay out the ass to swap cars if I currently had a perfectly functional E46? Nope.
