Leatherette looks ok but hot as hell

In neighborhood surrounded by m's and fancy 5's 7's my black base without xenonAEs looks kinda cheap (there is an undeniable status-symbol element to this whole bimmer thing)

Worst of all, in city with traffic and worlds worst drivers.... What's the point of having this thing.... Might just go back to Honda three yrs from now. Bought the car for the driving experience and not the look. Where I live only the look seems to matter more and racing to the next red light does not require the "ultimate driving machine."

Car is somewhat of a bust
Wow, brutally honest review. When you say the car looks "kinda cheap" compared to some fancier models, I think the word "cheap" is harsh but I get what you mean.

I've seen a few base line F30's on the road (black, silver, no Xenons, 17's...) and they definitely don't turn my head like I would hope a new BMW would.
Still, you have an F30 and I don't. I'd rather have a plain F30 than a Honda anyday.
