It rocks

Cons

It doesn't look too fast, but oh boy it is a quicky

I'm Driving My Dream Car! — This car is so fun to drive! I love taking off from stop lights and smoking the car that was next to me. I also love going around corners fast. It hugs them so tight and keeps you in your seat rather than throwing you across the car.

Beautiful exterior and interior, excellent build, Angel eyes Xenon
Headlights, manual transmission, roomy, great mpgs

Cons

Power seats not standard

Bmw!!!!! — What an amazing car! Not only is it beautiful on the inside and out, it handles like no other. The interior is beautifully assembled and is very luxurious but simple in function. The engine although only has 215 bhp is still plenty powerful and has some of the silkiest acceleration. The 6 spd. manual transmission is a perfect combo for this engine.

engine; straight forward and easy to use controls, good stock sound system, leather, good seat travel for me (i'm 6'6"), that fact that its German made.

smallish rear cargo area.

Pros

- Excellent performance with the Inline 6 255hp engine.

Cons

- Smallish interior in the back seat; even worse if you're tall and sit in the rear.

The Best Sports Sedan — The BMW 3-Series has always been a benchmark for Compact Luxury Sports sedans. The newly redesigned 3-Series sedan (aka E90) is no exception. It's pure driving excitement that one must drive to fully understand. This is truly an "Ultimate Driving Machine." :)
