a buyers (shoppers) perspective

I am a 20 year BMW buyer, with E36, 325is and then M3, then a E46 330i and mini Cooper, later a E92 335i Coupe, and now a E89 Z4 3.5i (wife has a 2010, 135i) So looking for her next car, Sat in X1, Cheap, Drove X3, Yawn, and not making the grade, Drove X6 and X5, and the X5 was the only one I was impressed with. Well X6 is ok as well, but to pricey and to many compromises. Anyhow.

Still not sure, she looked at the new 535i and thought it looked like a Buick.
New F30 is just ok, and she wants something more unique.

Not sure if we will end up in a BMW, but my impressions is the interior style is just plain weird. iDrive, was not impressive either. So we are still looking.

Sales on 3 may be down due to no new 3 coupe, but hard to rev'ed up about at 50k 4 cyl car.
