Sorry to be 'non-forum-esque' about this, but both cars look pretty good. Neither are beautiful or overly-exciting but that is a function of the conservative and fairly fleet-driven market segment they are in, regardless of what anyone who owns or sells one would like them to be in.

I'm not going to give my opinion on the looks (other than to say in the right colour combinations they both look good, if not spectacular) but as has been pointed out in the press, this is a market segment that is forced into being conservative by its largely company car driven market and even its private buyer market having an eye on resale values (hence all the forum threads on pcps etc).

Equally, I know that lots of high end cars are bought on lease/pcp/deferred final payment type finance, although quite how much people are prepared to spank away on 'that is part of 40k's worth of stuff that really should be included on this bright green Lambourghini' that will only be worth 6k after 2 yrs and 6k miles...

Car Buyer Review of the XE. 4.6/5. 3 Series gets 4.8/5. C Class 4.1/5. Passat 4.5/5. A4 3.9/5.

The 3 Series is still king! Job done.
