 I was looking to go from my 2007 X3 (which I loved) to something with a bit more refinement.  I also don't want a car that is very common.  The 3-series is very common place in SoCal but the are very few GT's (of any type).  I just purchased a 2014 dealer loaner (loaded) for a sweet price and that's why I gave this review a 5 for value.  I've had the car for less than a week and have had numerous folks commenting on the beauty of this ride.Shout out to 'Penske' BMW of Ontario, CA!!  Amazing team.As of 11/11/16Love this car more than when I bought it.  I'd like to see a bit better MPG even when I'm not pushing it but the performance, handling, versatility, and comfort for a car that can haul a 50 gal water heater (with the hatch closed!) and provide superior comfort for four people more than make up for it.If you don't look back at your car after you park it, you own the wrong car.As of 11/11/17Still love my car.  I love driving it and still love looking at it after I park it.  It is always the car we take as a family and when the gang at work goes to lunch.  Best car!!!!
