Rich textures, controls where expected, gorgeous lighting, fit and finish top notch. Door trim very subdued but luxurious.
Stunning power throughout the powerband--effortless bursts of speed in top gear for easy highway travel, generous 3rd-4th gear power for moving through heavier traffic. Silky smooth, just enough exhaust note, excellent mileage
There is good reason the 3-series is the industry benchmark for handling...this car has perfect handling/ride balance. Direct and communicative steering, non-intrusive stability control, and absolute confidence in the twisties.
More padding, slightly larger than e46 sport seats, fully adjustable side bolsters and the Dakota leather seems thicker and softer than the e-46 leather.
