BMW 3-series Named 2011 Automobile Magazine All-Star (For 21st Time)
Reported on HOMEPAGE.
Add another to the E90/E92 BMW 3-series already crowded award mantel. Automobile Magazine has named the 3-series to its 2011 All-Stars list, for the 21st time. Perhaps the best summary from Automobile - "As the car enters the sixth year in its current form, it still has no equal." Quote:

it depends on options.
Base spec with 17in wheels non msport was beaten by Ford Mondeo in last CAR magazine issue... they said it feels already a bit old. And it should after 5 years I guess! still the benchmark though, but unless well equipped it is not as good. In US this isn't an issue, hence it's winning tests, as your base model is quite advanced in Europe spec wise.

I would like to see one of these magazines do a test drive of a FBO N54 with either giac/proceed/jb4 and a good suspension setup and see what they think

Thanks for the article. This is one of the reasons I decided to buy a 2011 335i. Yes it's almost the end of the model style but I think its at this time that the car is perfected, I optioned mine with everything so it has everything I need to last a long time.
When I bought my 99 328i I fell immediately in love with the body style and had to get it first. When 2006 came it took me a little longer to warm up to the new style, it was about 2009 that I started falling in love with the style again the front looking more like my older E46. So I waited for 2011 for the N55 engine and now I really love the style of the car and my car is solid, fit and finish is top notch, the german engineering is just amazing, everything is laid out right where I need it, love the iDrive music/iPod song tracks listed on screen, HD radio showing tracks playing on screen, it's really classy looking to me. Plus with the Holiday Credit $1500.00, Auto Trans credit $1300.00, getting invoice +750.00 and 0.9 interest, it's was the perfect time for me. I figure that by the time the F30 comes out it's gonna take me some time to warm up to it because I already don't like the line across the hood and that it looks so much like the 5 series already. So I figure it will take me till 2015 to warm up to the F30. |

When I decided to make a car purchase I tried my best to have an open mind. I drove Mercs, Infiniti G, Audi, Jag, Acura....ou get the picture. For me it was the balance, the refinement, the sweetest engine I have ever experienced and the fact that I love to drive. With a 6speed MT I always feel at one with the car, like a perfectly fitted suit. I haved owned other marks but I always come back to BMW. Three 3's and counting! Although this one better last me 10 years or my wife will shoot me

I am sorry, but when BMW is being sued in a class action lawsuit for HPFP failures which they still haven't resolved, you just can't be on the "All Star" list. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ss+action+hpfp

Also, for most BMW problems start off by scanning your car with the Peake Research Tool. It contains the actual BMW codes.

Lawsuit Overreaction
BMW is being sued because they have deep pockets. End of story. Lawyers are just chasing cash, and the class action scam is one of their favorite ones to run. No different than Apple, samsung or any other big company. Lawsuits are part of the territory.
Do not misunderstand, the HPFP is certainly a stain on their resume. It is not enough to make anyone that loves driving buy an Audi etc. instead. Sometimes the thing that makes you appreciate the BMW driving experience most is driving a non-BMW. |

It sure has no equal in its class for the way it drives. And it has nothing to do with mere acceleration. |
