Older BMW ruin other cars for you. I had a 2010 328i xDrive.

Don’t forget to get your blinker fluid topped up at the dealer BTW

But...but...you are parked in between the lines, in only one space?!

Seriously though, congrats. An excellent choice.

Nicely done, I feel the sport package is a must for these, simply because you get the sport seats included; the sport sport suspension and shadowline trim are just a bonus.

Awesome. You are bucking the trend simply by buying a car-shaped-car/sedan.

Seems like a great deal at $12k!

Agreed. I tried a s tandard 328i and the seats didn’t have any support. I’m used to the firm ride from my G35 so the suspension is about perfect.

The steering is heavier than I expected but I get to feel like a manly man while I’m driving.

I test drove a regular 328i because I wanted to see if I would mind the regular seats; I came away from that only searching for cars with Sport or M-Sport packs. I don’t think the suspension is that hard, it’s a lot harder in my M3. At low speeds the steering does feel a little heavy, but it’s sublime once you get moving. There’s a reason I DD a 328i.

ah gotcha, wagons also are far from the top most sold car shapes

How do you like power from the 328i?

The E90's, E92's, and E87's all seem to be pretty common here. Welcome to the N52 club!
