my current bmw lease is about up (5 months) and i've started to look...

i test drove the latest design of the new 3 series... your thoughts? this car was a 328i sport with all options...

i would select a 328 sport, white with the red leather and no nav... same 18" rims... most likely have to order to my specs.

while i understand this isn't a bmw forum... i respect your unbiased opinions. there are things i do and don't like about this car (as with every car).

its hard to go wrong with bmw's free maintenance program and warranty.

 

Have you checked out a Mercedes C300 as an alternative? I personally think its classier than the Bimmer.

 

What's the **** to the right of the shifter for?

 

Good choice Andrew.
My wife has a 2007 BMW 328i Hard Top Convertible (our other car)

Although it's an older model and not a "Sport" we love it and it performs well

 

~ it's what they call "i-drive"... a joy stick if you will for the nav, radio, climate, settings, etc.

 

this is my current car...

i would most likely do the same items below to give it that subtle/personal touch…

~ 50% window tint
~ full clear bra
~ M3 rear lip spoiler
~ rotex gold dust free brake pads (front/rear)
~ debadged
~ painted front bumper reflectors
~ eibach pro-kit (to loose the fender gap)
~ etc...

 

I prefer the classic BMW look of both your current cars.

 

I pin you as more of a Z4 guy, personally... The new ones are gorgeous.

White with red, of course

 

I like the look of your current E92 better than the newer ones.

Also, IMHO it would be difficult to shell out Bimmer cash and not get the 335i

 

Very nice car all around and about the only thing I would consider at roughly the same price point would be the Audi A5 (which is a gorgeous looking car, IMHO) but maybe not quite as dynamic a driver as the 3.

 

X2......
