Now my F30 doors are light as hell, like a honda civics doors, and the car doesnt have the bank vault feeling you'd expect from a $65,000 german built luxury sedan. Actually the very first comment i got is "why are the doors so light?" lol definitely doesnt give that expensive feel...as much as a c class does at least or even the previous gen 3
the wind noise really bothers me, its so f***ing loud. My friends Chrysler 300 M was 10X quieter in terms of wind noise.

Let's see your sister's 09 C or your friends Chrysler 300 perform like the F30.
People who equate how "heavy and bank vault feeling" doors are to quality/German should be looking at a 5 or 7 series, or E class.
BMW 3 series is famous and celebrated for its performance and driving, that's why it's the ultimate DRIVING machine, not "the ultimate zen meditation room".
Hell, car makers like Porsche and Aston charge MORE for cars with more stripped out parts (lets trash the carpet, AC, glass windows, radio, and everything but the steering wheel and charge $100k more for it).
