I like the 3-blink signal and I'm not gonna turn it off. But the stalk doesn't have to electronic. It could work like the ones in Audi and VW, and the 2007 X3 actually, where it still allows 3 blinks if you tap it lightly, but it won't spring back into the middle position if you push it for a corner (like it does on the electronic stalk). Once again, I can use it just fine. I'm no idiot to car functions. I went through all the key/car memory functions and set them within the first day I had my hands on the car.

The "fugly plastic interior" of the X3 is more durable and requires less maintenance than any other interior I've ever known. I run it over with vinyl cleaner twice a year and it looks new. Yes it is a bit low-rent for a BMW, but it's well put together without gaps or misaligned panels.
I Semi-Agree, The 335i has no interior features I feel make it that much nicer

I have to agree with San on the X3's Interior, can't stand it, even now

On the turn signal, I LOVE it, but sometimes it will get stuck or pop the wrong way and it drives me nuts

What I hate about the new BMW's? That STUPID brake hold feature, it drives me insane!

I'm actually driving my mom's 2003 325i this week as they are in South Africa and I must say, I think the Interior of this 3 has far less features but it much nicer looking with more wood, but it lacks the features of the new 3, both have top-shelf interior plastics and feel sturdy but the E46 is much more driver oriented
