I think the ZF8 is probably responsible for the pace of the newer 330d being similar to the old 335d. It is a fantastic gearbox. I agree about interior quality too - for me the E9x and E6x were just too crap to even consider so I skipped a generation of BMWs. I thought that the E9x handled OK though, but I couldn't see past the other weaknesses.
