Maybe the 08 will have some new standard options... but all in all I think the 335i is a better choice even if the cost differs by $9000.

another size comparison that might help:
the 135i is 1.5 cm longer than the E30.
the 135i is a little wider and taller than the E30.
it's small but not tiny and will be a little faster than the 335i ... probably not _that_ much faster given the small weight difference.
aesthetically I personally prefer the look of the 135i to the 335i but that is obviously a subjective personal decision. I strongly disagree that the 335i beats the 135i in looks "hands down" although like i said it is an individual decision.
I think it comes down to 1)use, 2) space needed, 3) aesthetic appeal to you personally.
I'm going with the 135i because it suits my needs better than the 335i and I like the look better. It isn't about money ... I could easily afford either. I miss my old E30 and can't wait to have another car that fits like a glove.
respect to both of course!
