I agree there are several aspects with the 328i not indicating a luxury sedan. But when it comes to driving dynamics, the 328i is better than the 320d I used to drive a few years back. If I did not care of the driving dynamics I would go for the new C-class. Unfortunately, I know from experience the C-class will not compete with a 328i MT in the driving dynamics department
A would be happy if I'm mistaken, but I doubt it.
