It is a pretty base car--beyond the cold and premium packages, and the working Sirius, that is. I think the only thing I do not like about the car is the cupholders. Well, other than the fact the car only has 2 pedals and it is not a 335. It's a great drive, and if I could manage with such a small car, I would love to own another 3 series. It's a big improvement over my E36.

This is one of the perks of owning a BMW. Bring your car into a dealer, even one where you did not buy your car, and you get hooked up with a nice loaner car for the day or two it will take to service my car for free. It's a chore to bring in the wife's minivan and coordinate that lack of a Toyota loaner. Sure, you pay for the perks up front, but I can live with that! Thanks to BMW of Darien for the nice ride!
