330i. 335i was launched on E92/E90
But great choice, E46 is a great driver's car! And still wonderful with NA I6.
Disagree so much (agree with the rest). E36 over an S60 any day. E36 has everything a car needs, and the S60 lacks several of those elements.

The E36 has the worst interior BMW ever put into one of there cars, my granddad had a 328i, and later an e36 M3, interiors plastics, fit and finish in both were pretty poor, not a patch on the S60. The Volvo is a much nicer place to sit and the sound system is better than what BMW offers.
It also depends on what you want to use the car for, if you drive long distances then Volvo has a better ride, better seats, better sound system, quieter. My wife and I had a 2009 V70 2.4D, it's was economical, a fantastic car for hauling 2 kids and luggage, the only real issue we had was the large turning circle, which happens when you have a transverse 5 cylinder engine with tranny stuck on the side.
