The whole space thing is annoying. I don't get how in Europe it's a mid size and great family car cause it's not. I drove a friend in my F80 and he's 6'1 and he had to push the seat all the way back and still wasn't the most comfortable. Are everyone in Europe under 6'? There's no way a 6' person would fit in the front seat with a car seat in the back. | People in Europe have to deal with way less room on the street and in parking spots. They are just more efficient in terms of what they're bringing and how they share space. A 3 series is considered a large car there - when I was in Italy I saw a lot of Up! and Polo and that class of car as a family car with 4 people in it.
You just squish everything in. Your legs are touching the dash. You don't manspread like you do in NA.
Much like what JDMDreams say, in Italy you also park by feel. You back up until you bump your neighbours and then go forward etc. Need a little more space? Just push the other car a little bit.
This is how they park in Rome.

There's no way a 6' person would fit in the front seat with a car seat in the back. | Dem Germans are tall too so I don’t know how they fit in this. With two 6’ people up front it turns into a two seater. My sportwagen was packaged better and had way more leg room in the back. I can almost sit behind myself (knees would be in the back of the front seat, but it’s doable for short runs)
I recall sitting in a 2017 5 series and not being impressed with the rear leg room. Almost had the same problem as the sportwagen.

^Interesting, I would say the current size on the Mazda3 is perfection.
Unless he is doing camber and hella flush style (which is not really my cup of tea anymore, hahahaha), then maybe he can do 1 size bigger lolol
You want some tire on it, like the FK8 IMO look the best with 18s, slightly worse on 19s, but pls no stock 20s, or change to another set of 20s lololol
I dont even like the rubber bands on exotics, I get the stiffer/smaller side wall and rim is lighter than tire argument, but yea...

- handling
- high rpm performance
In a typical street setting, it isn't a super powerful car that can give you an adrenalin rush. To enjoy it for what it is, you really need to put it in the right setting where it can shine.
The latest generation with the turbo 4's are quite different. There is still not much torque below the 2.5 - 3k rpm range before the turbo spools up, but once you get that turbo spooling, it pulls very nicely all the way up to redline in the way you'd expect a 300 - 350hp car would. In that sense, that much stronger torque makes it a lot more usable and a lot more fun in everyday situations.
I haven't driven the newest gen car with the NA flat 6, so I can't give you any first hand description of what the car is like. According to other people, the midrange torque isn't as strong as the turbo 2.5L, but it has a much nicer high end. I hope I'd be able to get behind the wheel of one to see for myself.

In typical bmw fashion this 3 series broke lawl (not serious, just a puncture on the front driver side tire). Avis road side assistance told me 5+ hours wait due to Montreal’s crazy freezing rain event this week so they suggested I just drive on it. I said that’s nuts (they are using some chinese snow tire brand called far road ?!?!? And I don’t think they are runflats ) so I replaced it this morning with another bmw.
530xi.
Not bad, but it feels exactly the same thing as the 330i. It’s only a tad bit larger but the interior and driving experience is identical.
The rear seats are actually usable but otherwise nothing special. Gauge cluster is cool though, got this torque and Hp indicator. This sucker had 400ftlbs of torque ! And 320hp.
Not bad, but I don’t think it’s worth the extra 10-20k over the 330i. 
When the lady pulled this up, I thought it was the same car.  
The only perk/downside of driving this around Montreal is the gold diggers come straight up to you. I was eating Schwartz and this crazy French lady asked me if I wanted a blow job to go with my smoke meat. She waited right outside the damn car.

That area around Schwartz is kinda scummy. Not surprised all the wackos are there.
Also the average Montreal car is a pos versa or a Yaris. I guess with their roads and winter weather, it just kills the cars so it doesnt make any sense to drive a luxury car.

The aggressive ones never are. Or so that’s what I’ve heard anyway.. 
Well actually a couple solid 7’s hit our table up pretty hard in Whistler once. I’m so oblivious I thought they were just drunk and friendly party chicks. When they finally left my buddies tipped me off that they were pros lol
