No kidding. You cant buy shit for 30k anymore. I mean the 3 is no amazing bargain. But for what you get i think its a deal. Acura TL, Audi A4 and Infiniti G35 sedans are nice but go drive all 3 then drive the 3 series and tell me which one you want to drive every day. Besides the 3 series outsells all of its competitors combined.
