2. 35d, amazing performance yet reasonable economy
3. Comfy

The engine and looks. The N54 is a dream to drive, still amazed about it's performance. First time passengers instantly shut up when i 0-60 in 5.5 secs...

Wish i had a DCT, but it's best to keep wishing, keeps you motivated to do stuff (and buy new cars.. )

Sports seats are very good, and the M-Sport steering wheel is even better.

Great for long distances, love the white LED lights on the front of my E92. Think the car looks great, and 245ps for ~34mpg driven fairly quickly isn't bad at all on average.

- The folding roof and activiting it remotely
- The noise the engine makes
- The electric sports seats
- The way the car blows hot air in your face on cold days with the roof down
- The bluetooth system

So how come no-one has mentioned driving dynamics then?

From the beemers I've owned and driven, I liked the effortless drive and the cars 'flow' well on fast A and B roads. Steering always been good with decent feedback.

Driving dynamics is a given on any BMW, isn't it? That would be stating the obvious, not something BMW-drivers do...

Hmm, I can agree to a point as long as you've got the horses under the bonnet, but I've had two Porsches so......

Coincidence: Discovery had an episode about BigFactories or something about 1/2 hour ago and they were showing the Porsche factory.... very interesting, completely handbuilt, except for the windshield, that's the only component installed by a robot..... very impressive car, but a bit to common for my taste. Overhere i see more 911s then 335is.....
