[quote Racer X]Bottom line is that the 3 series BMW was built for the cheap people who had to have a roundel on the hood for status and prestige, but couldn't afford a real BMW.
Stick to Buicks Racer X, for you know not what you talk about. BMW has always put the most effort and development money into the 3-series and it's precursor, the 2002. This is the car they stake their reputation on, and it always delivers. Although the 5-series is also a nice car, it has always been second string compared to the 3-series, and the big cushy high end and unreliable luxoboats (sorry, 6 and 7 series owners but its true), though having decent performance are a pittance of the BMW market share and get the least development attention.
