2015 BMW 3-Series Gran Turismo 4dr Hatch

turbocharged 240hp 2.0L I4 8-speed shiftable automatic AWD

43000 mi Under warranty BMW replaced springs, shocks and strut bearings. The annoying knock sound coming from the suspension over ripples, expansion joints and other small road imperfections is mostly gone but the car still does not feel anywhere like an E90 series. I really miss my 2011 and will be looking for a good example.
