One is a 3 series one is a 5 series. So of course generally 3 series will be cheaper in general compared to 5 series. As 5 series is position above 3 series. And both models are from the same generation.
cheers

If you want to have some fun and rempit >> E46 or If you want roll with style and comfort >> E39.... of coz there are some 39 boys here with big engines, rempit as well... Go test drive both and ask yourself which one suits best your needs...cheers

Hi bro, my requirement is must have good speed and handling without compromising comfort. Still unable to decide and as you said I need to test drive both cars. My feeling is to E46, but I worried will regret later because of the comfort and handling. Anyone of you having both cars? Please comment. Thanks.

In that case, go for E46 330CI Convertible or E46 M3 or at least E46 330 CI
