i'm surprised none of the BMWs had active steer, and it felt heavy compared to all the other cars. the audi was a major let down, heavy and slow. the is250 had a very very light steering, but at the same time rolled pretty bad. the benz i didnt try, but it sounded nice.
and ofcourse i couldnt get enough of the 335 be it the diesel, xi, or the RWD.

At the test drive I went to there were everything from 1970's Volvos to new Porsche 911's - it was essentially luck of the draw.
That said, the Bimmers were the best vehicles to drive. The 335 and 335d were great fun (though a manual would have been nice). 2nd place goes to the C300 which sounded the best but wasn't quite as direct and had a soft brake pedal. Third was the IS250 which was underpowered and too soft. Last was the A4 which had a nice interior but had lots of body roll and really light steering.
I think a G37 would have been a good car to include in the comparison but then it might be a bit too powerful to compare to the 328...

A4 was a major disappointment to be honest, light steering, tons of body roll no power...etc! G35 sedan would have made a good comparison to the 335i, not 328i though. Not too surprised they left the most competitive car to the 3 series in the segment...

they probably had the sport package on the bimmers but not the Audi. I drove both cars and body roll isn't as significant as you people say it is. (335i/A4 Sport). A4's steering is servotronic, tightens as your speed increases. The bimmers had no active steering so it felt heavier, some people prefer active, most people don't. I agree that A4 compared to 335i has no power, 2.0T vs 3.0TT, Duhh!. (Don't know if they had 3.2Q, but that wouldnt matter anyways)

From what I remember, at least one BMW didn't have the sports package.
The IS250 felt slow, A4 felt a little under-powered, steering was loose and lots of body roll. I liked the C300 4MATIC, nice interior and it looks good!
The BMW lineup was good, 328i -> 335d, too bad the 335d starts at 49k haha so expensive!

They could still be testing those cars for their signficant others, family, or friends. And considering it's free, you get to drive other peoples cars, and there's even free food, I can think of worse ways to burn 2 hrs  | |
