And BMW managed to do this with the regulatory perameters they must adopt. It's a cool car. Audi, merc and Cadillac are also cool cars. But at the end the day BMW offers more directly or indirectly. Hell maybe those e90 owners will be lead the way for a Cadilac, Audi or Mercedes revolution paving the way to more aftermarket solutions and car clubs in their respective groups. Giving us consumers more and better options and pushing auto manufacturers to even loftier levels. Progress is good
^ This . I still think BMW is at the top, but as stated before I have a CTS (along with 3 other BMW's) also which will probably be replaced this and ATS in a couple years if a few improvements are made. With other manufacturers pushing hard to surpass the 3 series ,we all win. BMW has to stay on their game and the competition continues to offer better products. Look at the Mustang versus Camaro race now. Until GM brought he Camaro back and its V8 was making 420+ HP, Ford was happy to sell the Mustang GT with 300+HP. Just a few yrs later we have 2 cars with massive HP and revised suspensions.If you like either one of those cars you won,,beacuse of competition
