Two inches more shoulder room, inch and a half rear knee room may not sound like much, but in reality that puts it in a different class.
Well, the E90 starts out lower than the 5er, but (using MSRP as a guide) a similarly equipped 530i would have an MSRP of ca. $53,000 while my 330xi has an MSRP of $50,000. Not a big difference.

Of course, I came out of a 5er and really like the 3er better so I wouldn´t consider the 5er anyway. Only the 3er provides true Freude am Fahren.
