Thanks Pete...that IS a difference. Perhaps I'll wait till the spring and
get an 07...coupe. Does that mean I'd get the newer engine and body ??

Actually it does matter. In '06 the coupe was still the old body style
(E46), while sedan was already new (E90). Along with that, the '06
325ci (coupe) had the old 2.5-liter 184-hp engine while the '06 325i
(sedan) had a new 3.0-liter 215-hp engine - a slightly detuned version
of the engine that was used in the 330i/ci.
I realize that's not going to make you buy a sedan instead of coupe, but
I'm just point out the differences.

Since I got so much good info on the "leather vs vinyl" post, my next one is
325 vs 330.
I'm looking at an 05 or 06 3 series. Is there any other "real" differences
between them except the engines ??
Not that it matters, but I'm looking for a coupe. The plan is to head down
to Florida in a few months and bring one back north.
Something with under 35k miles.
