After what jdong has experienced with his AH3, I'm driving my AH3 (7,950 miles total-to-date) more to see if his problem is an one-off event. The 435 Gran Coupe looks the part and I have always preferred 5 doors over sedans. My only disappointment thus far with the 3-series has been the hard and creaky plastics on the lower areas of the interior (more noise when cold).

My VW Golf TDI has much higher quality plastics and detailing than the BMW 3 series. The doors and switchgear feel more robust in the VW group products as well.

To save costs, BMW should have upgraded those bits when you choose an upgraded interior trim package.
