Amazing cars! If only we could get all those diesel models.
And no matter what BMW, you have to get either the sport package or M package.
Of course the M package is always preferred, so 335i

Thanks for the comments everyone, I took the delivery of the vehicle last night.
The weather was not great and I didn't bring my camera, so I used my phone to snap a photo and then got distracted  
More to come soon.

more of a spiritual successor to the E30 than the E90 ever was to the E30.
interior is much more tradition bmw: controls face the driver.

Parked liked a d-bag but only for about a minute to get coffee. On the way back remembered that I don't have any pics to show yet... still a crappy phone pic 
Roof rails are on... bike rack to follow...

Electric steering, I like it. Sure it isn't as "tight" at low speeds as I'm used to, but it's not a bad thing. When I'm parking it's super easy and on a highway it is stiffer.
I'd say that in every way I like this car far more than prior gen 3er, which I drove for a month and a half as a daily driver. Heads up display is a great way to keep eyes on the road while having speed, navi and music projected. Smaller 4 cil engine is surprisingly good on gas (for a BMW). Interior is better looking. Driving in sport mode is super fun. Even little things like opening the trunk by making a leg kick under trunk motion is pretty useful (heads full of groceries etc). I'm very happy with it (600kms already and counting lol, drove it to Seattle on the weekend).

The build quality on the 3 series is really good and I really like the interior however I don't like how BMW bumped up the price. They had a new 328i at BJ and the sticker price was $51,000.

sounds about right for an optioned out 328i...
then theres the 320i ! watered down 328i

I'm glad this thread turned into an actual car buying thread and not a "please help me choose between an LP-570 vs 458 thread"
