First BMW I’ve owned. History of cool cars all of US origin. When BMW advertises “the ultimate driving experience “ it is spot on. Had I bought my first BMW 30 years ago I would have never bought anything else. Jan 28, 2022

The cars solid with great handling. Its quite different than driving a FWD car---but in a good way. I just wish I had been able to find a manual transmission in the same condition as mine. Apparently Californian prefer automatics. Nevertheless, its still fun, and the automatic has its benefits. GREAT CARDec 04, 2021

Great value modern “drivers car” BMW. It’s a very balanced, fun, engaging car. It takes corners well enough with manageable body roll. It suffers from understeer and rear end hop. Both of which can be corrected. It’s also one of BMWs last hydraulic power steering models. 0-60 happens in 5.5 seconds with a perfect launch and quick shifting auto. The N51/52 is a good powerplant, but don’t expect forum advice on modifying it because they all repeat, “just sell it and buy a 135i.” Sep 06, 2021
