whats the difference if it has this:
"Contactless opening of the tailgate. You’re standing behind your new BMW 3 Series with your hands full of shopping and want to load the boot. So now you need to search your pockets to find the car key. Or do you? No, not any more. With innovative Comfort Access as special equipment you can open the tailgate without making contact. One well-placed movement of the foot is all that’s needed."

Actually just noticed this...and not sure if E90s are like E92s in this regard or not....
But the switches for the windows have been moved back on the armrest so that they are now under the door latch. And as a result of this, the door handle is no longer the cut-out for your hand. It's a small thing...but I've never liked that my doors are asymmetrical or the feel of the current handle on the e92 interior. Are the doors on E92 and E90 driver's side the same? And one another note..that super chunky woodgrain in the model above is really not for me! Everything else on this car (steering caveats aside) just keeps looking more and more promising. |

The exterior looks good, but the interior does not look sporty at all Not my type of interior.

thats the modern line shown, the sport line has a much sportier interior.

Wow, check out that glare on the front windshield, gotta have them polarized glasses. I hope the front windshield is not angled so much that it causes all that glare.
Nice review, waiting for m-sport to come. I'm sorry but for me...that interior color just screams my fathers buick, too much beige for my taste. lol |

I think they were trying to go with the Nav screen to look like an iPad. I do like it.

It isn't surprising to me that the car performs well--I would expect that out of BMW for the 3er.
I just can't get over how big it looks...maybe it won't look as huge in person...
