According to whom? C&D and several other sources have noted that they'd take the old E90 335i vs the new one. Also, very interesting that BMW is losing a significantly higher proportion of other comparos (5, M5, 6, M6, X6) vis a vis the competition. FI, lack of steering feel, communication with road, and size are being cited as the key issues w/ all the new models (w/ exception of 328i). Also, the investment community (as seen in a recent WSJ article) has honed in on BMW "stuffing the channel" by labeling sale of demonstration vehicles as "new car" sales. Peel away these demos and BMW's sales numbers of new models are actually suprisingly low.
Having said that, in the looks dept, the F30 is a handsome looking car (as is the new 5), and maybe looks is what drives a "halo effect" that ultimately sells the most vehicles over time.
