So I've only opened up my sunroof fully maybe once or twice, I kid you not. I do pop up the roof from time to time. But in reality right now I could easily live without a sunroof.
Especially for people who like to tint the windows dark like driving underwater. A sunroof is indeed not useful at all as it is solely against the purpose to be dark inside. But, I love it, I have moonroof on every cars that I own, and I like my driving environment to be as bright as possible, which helps to keep my mood positive when get stuck in slow traffic. I am not a drug dealer and don't date in the car, so I am fine with lack of privacy that way.

4K down for a 52K 335 Sedan - 738/month for 36 months! He looked at me and laughed before I did. He said they will have some stellar deals coming in March so lets see...

335 is a sweet looking car. But the rest of the 3 series lineup? Boring...same year after year. Want to look like everyone else? Buy a 3 series.

Errr the 335 and 328 look almost the same to me except for the exhaust, wheels, and some other minor details. Care to explain?

id call 3 series a girly looking car unless it has a M suffix next to the 3

just honest opinion from myself, to those Bimmer lovers, get a 5, or get a real life G

The 3 series looks anything but girly, kind of sinewy. My honest opinion. The M badge puts it over the edge. And while I like the looks of the G it took infiniti quite a few years to get it right. BTW, M styling is much nicer than G styling.

+1. 3 series is not girly. if you want girly, get a Lexus IS.

+1 too. Even the 135 is pretty classy for a pint sized a$$ hauler that also happens to haul a$$. The only Bimmer that I really don't like the looks of is that funky 5 door (535) thing that's not quite a wagon, it's the Pontiac Aztek of Bimmers

I was so excited over the new BMW so I went to my local BMW dealer and test drove the fully loaded 2012 BMW 328i 4 bang turbo. (only 2 were available)

1. Really nice interior.
2. You will hear the noticeable 4 banger/diesel engine like (Click click click click...) sound.
3. Did WOT like 4 times but there is no way this car is faster than my 09 G37!!!!!
4. You don't get the smooth v6 feeling from this 4 banger engine.
5. Fully loaded 328! 328! Not 5! but 3!!! will run you around $789/mo, 15k/yr. (I did not even ask about the 335i)

So... I am going with the new 2012 G37s this weekend.

$789/mo is insane, BMWs typically hold their value pretty well so there's no way that's even close to reasonable, about $200 more than reasonable

The car is very new and the dealers won't cut you any real good discount right now. $790/month for a 328 means you are getting ripped off by the dealer.

Yeah the car is new so there won't by any discount. You should expect that.

On (3), nobody has ever said the new 328 is faster than our G. All they say is it's fast enough and gets 36mpg, plus the improved interior. That's why it is such a strong contender at this point.

And yeah, the E9x 328 is purely cr@p. I don't argue about that
