Typical car & driver BMW review. They hate on the price and of course the steering.

0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds

0 to 130 in 29 seconds
(Same time as 340i MT to 150)

Quarter-mile
14 flat at 97.

Ugh!!

When are they going to test drive a 328xi with MPSS equipped THP and Adaptive M Suspension. This car was dinged for poor handling, lack of grip and poor stopping all things that MPSS and Adaptive Suspension would help with!

The better question is why won't BMW give auto mags a car equipped this way? The journalists are stuck with whatever is given to them--you'd think BMW would try to game the system by producing a car they know will be more satisfactory to the writers that are about to review their car.

agreed. Oh well. Glad to see the 328 kicking butt. Curious of how the 330 will do. My next car I will debate going to a 330, but when I currently price up the 328 the way I want the 335/340 is almost the same price...

Agreed the difference between a standard car and one with the THP etc is night and day. Almost feels like a BMW...
