This looks like my next car (2015 model). I like the steering wheel, but I do not like how the controls are on it. My wife has a X3 and the controls are different from my 128. For instance, I can turn the volume up and set the cruise with my left hand and keep my right hand on the stick. I can't do that on the X3 because they moved the volume to the right side of the wheel and the cruise is set on the left side - I adjust the volume more than I use cruise. I guess this is one update that I don't like. It was bad enough that the cruise in the 128 doesn't go up in 5 mile increments with a harder push like my 335 did.

Back to the new 3-series. I have some of the same concerns with the front end, but I think the overall experience - the brand - is more acceptable to me than going to another car in this segment (another brand).
