Yeah, the 3er is boring as hell. Great car for a boring human though.

Ultimately you should be kicking yourself more than kicking BMW. Does Australia get the Audi S3? If so, you can kick yourself some more...




don't get me wrong i like german cars but they really are over priced...
the alfa 159 with all the fruit is 55k drive away in aus compared to audi/bmw/merc your looking at the 80k mark.
thats the reason i went back to alfa. great looking car and very well priced.
sure it lacks in the performance dept but for every day use the 159 is fine...
the problem i had with the 3 series was they had become very common and had lost that enthusiast appeal for me, thats all...
not a fan of the new bmw designs - too bloody conservative for my likings.
