Whichever you prefer is what's better to you and nobody's going to change anyone's mind with their personal preference.

It's all subjective as to what is better...there are some cars cheaper than the G that offer all kinds of "extras"...does that make them better?

So because you see more 328's than other BMWs, that means those people bought them only because of the brand? How do you know this without knowing those people?

I could care less, the initial conversation was about in most cases it being a badge buy, thats my opinion people can disagree if they'd like, no issue with that, but I and others have brought up valid points and the people disagreeing haven't really done so, but in the end it is what it is. Im sure you understand exactly what I was saying throughout this thread. We were just having a friendly disagreement here thats all...

It sounds like a tractor at idle, the exhaust sounds like my Roomba vacuum cleaner when pushed, and IT does not have nearly the same power. I don't care what the torque graph shows at 2500rpm, the 328i didn't put me back in the seat nearly as much as the G. The N20 is here for fuel economy reasons, nothing more. It's not an improvement in driving or excitement, or in an enthusiast's point of view it's worse than the N52 I6 it replaced and any other decent V6 on the market. I considered the new 328i carefully but it a big step down from the G overall. The interior sucks (just compare dash and touch materials and the new seats to the G - you'll see what i mean) and to get decent options you're looking at $45k+, which at that price point it's really not a competitive car. It's only competitive because some people will pay more, simply because it's a BMW.

With the F30 though, I think BMW has made the new 328 a hard pill to swallow.



I didn't find the ride and handling of the BMW to be *that* much more superior to the G, to justify living with the N20, ****ty interior, and paying $45k car for a car with barely any options (only premium and nav, which is what I test drove). If you want better mileage, the ATS is really a much better package considering price and interior than the BMW, and also handled just as well, if not better. And if you're looking at the 335i with any options, I find the Audi S4 a better buy as well.

If sales determined which car was best then the JX would be better than the G coupe.
