I'd take an E90 330i so long as someone else was paying for it.

Only if I was under no obligation to keep it. For that amount of money, it seems pretty silly to buy a new 330i.

I was at a club meeting last night and our VP stated this woman standing next to a group of us just got a new E90 330. I said, "I've drive one several times. Nice car, but I don't like the price." Guess that did not suit well with her. Opps...

I don't get the price complaints... it really isn't noticeably more expensive than an E46 330, and I don't recall anyone complaining that the E46 was too expensive. So long as you can skip on some of the fancy toys that are availble on the E90 that weren't on the E46 (active steering, active cruise, i-drive, etc.), you can get a 330i at a reasonable price.

How about an LS430?

I rode in a friend's last night. A really comfortable car and the backup camera is great. Much cheaper than the 750 too.

I believe them both (E46 & E90) to be overpriced.
