 I fell for the mass marketing and silly editor reviews on this car.  You're supposed to say it's a good car because that's what BMW has been pushing so hard for a long time.
 The truth is, it's a very weak-engined plain & boring car.  Not only does my V-6 Accord have tons more power and better MPG's, but it doesn't need premium gas.  BMW feels like it's the size of a boat in the parking lot, and the ride is so firm and rattling that you should not call it a luxury car.
 The aged interior looks like it was never changed from the 3-series I always saw in the late 90's.  I saw a review that said Hyundai's now look nicer inside than BMW's.
