Love the look of the headlights on that

That's your first car? How old are you?

@techno96 congrats on the first car!!!
I hate to be "that guy" but you guys realize that a 2007 3 series could be had for relatively cheap. For example, the marketprice around DC is about 17k. That actually makes it cheaper than buying a new Civic. If the carfax is clean, i don't know alot of people who would take a honda over a bmw, even if the BMW is older.
These are great driving little cars. I'm having a hard time deciding if this or the new F30 328i will replace my old 3 series when it comes time.
True but $17k is still a good amount of coin for a first car.
Personally I wouldn't touch an 80k mile BMW with a ten foot pole. I did that twice in my life and never, ever again. At this point in my life I'm wise enough that I'd take the Honda given your theoretical above. I definitely would not pay $17k for any six year old car with 80k on the clock.

Very true, especially with BMW's complete inability to make a reliable HPFP (mostly on their turbo motors). That being said, I own one, and I'm worried how things will go once my warranty does.

Hell yeah. Considering one as a daily driver soon. Waiting for the ATS-V

Yeah its a lot of fun to drive around. I dont think you could go wrong with the ATS or a 3 series, personal preference is what it'll come down to.

If the ATS-V is anything like the CTS-V it'll be a great car. I've driven a CTS-V sedan before and it beats the hell out of our 2013 Corvette.
