Just spent a week with an F30. Wow that is a soft car. Many things came to mind as I was driving it over the course of several days. The one that kept coming to mind is this is basically a Camry with a Roundel. OR so this is what it would be like if BMW made a normal car. OR wow the computer engineers have taken over the company and fired the mechanical engineers. OR can't believe this thing is going to be very reliable with that poor turbo 4 cylinder starting and stopping AND that 8 speed transmission constantly shifting, it's not like they were building on a rock solid reliability record to begin with. I drove it on my normal, mostly highway commute for the week and got about 28.5 mpg. I normally get 27 with 6 year old N52. No way all that techno wizardry is worth 1.5 mpg to me. And finally when I picked mine up, the satisfying direct steering returned like an old friend.
