My AH3 has been a great car so far, but I don't think I'll make the move to a 320e. I definitely don't want to take a step backwards in performance or driving dynamics. The 435i Gran Coupe seems more my speed for late 2015.
Yes, definitely more green with the bigger battery and smaller ICE. If this was the 28i version of the engine I would be more enthusiastic than with the ~20i equivalent tune. But I will have to give it serious consideration when my current lease is up. I will have to extend my lease a few months anyway to get the LCI F30.
But of course there is always the M235i and F80 to consider.
It's just hard to justify an M3 with my current driving - primarily suburban commuting. I just hope the 320e can be had with DHP.
