Heh, I'm kind of going the opposite way. Currently driving a 2002 330Ci (with M-Tech II package, sorta similar to the ZHP Performance Package that appeared in the States in 2003) and I'm expecting to get an FR-S.
The Bimmer is still fun and I've been luckier than others in terms of avoiding some of the trouble spots but it's still almost 10 years old now and rust is starting to take its toll. Road salt, sigh.
My suggestion -- enjoy the 330 for a couple of years, then buy the new improved, more powerful BRZ STI or supercharged FR-S that might appear by then! Best of both worlds.
