Correct. I was recently reading Car magazine which stated that BMW UK was still deciding on whether they wanted a Quattro fighter.

Quoted for Truth. They would have never written this about the 184HP M54.

It's not ever been available here due to RHD and diffs interfering etc.

I agree. Where's Clarkson and more importantly where's the Stig!

Yep! I'm gonna tell all my friends with "proper jobs" to get the new 3 series.
This sounds like a bad car commercial,I'm sure BMW is planning on buying lots of pages of ads with those car mags.
It's not gonna be that much different than the E90 in terms of driving,especially the heavier 335i.
It's like when the E9X M3 came out, most reviews made it sound like it handled much better than the E46 M3 yet at local race events both cars run similar times,one with less power.

It sure is. Especially the 328i, and for the better. Lighter, more power, and the dynamic suspension if you want it. I agree it doesn't make a whole lot fo sense for current e90 335 owners to upgrade right away, but for someone like myself, who has been out of a car a few months, I cant wait for this new 328. And it will be my first manual. Epic.

Also the shorter engine makes the F30 328i more balanced than the 335i.

Yes sir. With a little software tune the 328 could be a beast...now i just need to do something about the 225/45 rear tires.
