3 Series cleans up in the Compact Exec category with Audi/Merc not getting a look in..http://www.whatcar.com/news-special-...045&EL=3299387

Not sure if this is a good or bad thing.....dont want the "cocks" who have gone to Audi coming back

Rightly deserved imo

I bought mine without test driving it or even looking at a similar spec at my local dealer. If all the write ups said it was the best who am I to argue?!!!
I made the right choice too

NIce one Steve bud.

Well done BMW

No question of this, for me personally.

BMW is definitely top-dog at the moment.

indeed, I wish I could afford the LCI 530D or even touring, not that I need much more space.

Sometimes I look to change, direct swap and it means leaving a reliable car for a Nissan X-trail or a car with mileage by someone else, I just back off the idea.

I keep thinking of changing but the only car I would change my 320d e92 for is another BMW! Fab cars.

I noticed that the Cooper S won the Hot Hatch category as well so I'm doubly pleased as we have one of those too.

We had a MCSC, and I gotta say its the most fun you can have on 4 wheels for that sort of money - what a hoot to drive, and ours had the LSD so a real go kart

Then baby arrived and I couldnt get the buggy & car seat in...no matter how I tried
