Whaaaat? A4 is 9 inches wider than F30...? Must be a typo.

This is your typical looking at the wrong numbers outsourced event...

The competitors widths were to the outer most part of the mirrors, the F30 was noted as the width to the outer front wheels.

F30 to the mirror tips is 80" to compare apples to apples.

Thanks for sharing!

I went to a driving event here in Memphis when the new X3 came out. I love that BMW is so confident in their product that they let you drive the competition back to back and let you decide who makes the better vehicle...

SouthpawE46, do you have a copy of the presentation that they showed you? Might be interesting factoids there.

all time classic. i just love every time i see someone on the road with one of these.

p.s. can we talk about how ugly the stock wheel options on the new 3's are? every single one: horrible.

JulieDriving · 02-19-2012, 02:36 PM

Nice to see a pic of a white 335i...that's what I'll be going with if I get one...I like the black rims too but not with the red...

You can't smuggle me there in your suitcase?

klammer · 02-19-2012, 09:03 PM

Saw and sat in a few of these at the auto show and i really liked the interior but really hate the hoodline in the new 3er, looks like a bad clearbra line. Can't wait to drive one though

SouthpawE46 · 02-19-2012, 09:57 PM

If I had known, I would've written a longer and more extensive review!
