i read an article in Car and Driver and, I believe, Motortrend also...and one of them was a followup to a road test they had conducted with the 2012 328...the article mentioned that the 2012 was stuck in the shop, but the author had some time with a 2010 328 and commented/remarked on the motor and how it delivered power/etc...and the point was this: it was NOT the best motor for power...BUT. there was something about that particular motor, the N52, that made you feel like you were a driving a BMW...that's the way the car was meant to be, almost like that motor and its operation was the true heart of the brand . . . i'm not commenting on whether that is true or not, b/c undoubtedly it is a subjective judgment that none of us can refute or support. But, I thought it was interesting.
