Has anyone gone from a BMW 3 series to a TSX and regretted it?

That'll definitely steal sales from the TL. 6spd SH-AWD TL ~$43K or save about $8K for the 6spd TSX V6 and use the money saved for mods.
To me the TSX looks better than this gen TL. It's growing on me though.
But you won't get SH-AWD.

I came to the TSX after two European cars, a 1995 Jetta GLX VR6, and a 2001 Saab 9-5 Aero. And when it was time to replace the Saab, I narrowed it down to the 328i and TSX. Ultimately, I simply couldn't face the extra $10k, and I wanted a break from the hassles of European cars. I also thought the TSX would be a better family car. In short, the BMW is better to drive, but the TSX is better to live with, and it's still great to drive.
I sorely miss the better steering feel and highway tracking of the European cars I've owned, and I'd like a little more power, but otherwise the TSX is great. I think the suspension tuning provides an excellent ride/handling balance for an enthusiast's daily driver. If Acura develops great steering feel for the next generation, I'd get another.

The problem is with the N54/N55 engines - those with the turbo. They have the x35 designation; 135/335/535. The normally aspirated engines 128/328/528/325/525/330 are quite reliable with only a few systemic issues that generally won't leave you stranded.

I own a 2005 e46 and a 2010 tsx. If I have time I'll do an in-depth review of the two.
The bmw is a better driver's car and it dances around curves better than the tsx. I find it more agile.
I've never had any problems with my e46, other than normal maintence. Runs like a charm and is easy to maintain.
The tsx is a little more comfortable and less agile. It pulls you out of corners as opposed to being pushed as most of the traction is in the front and the vcs or whatever they call it is a bit annoying but required to regulate torque steer and other compromises when you go with a fwd car.
All in all they are both good cars, but they serve different purposes. You need to look at your needs and go from there.
