As long as it's quieter than my M4.... It's getting a little old cold starting at 6am, surprised the neighbors haven't complained yet

+ Interior is spacious and the materials are very nice. I really liked the cognac color in this one.
- The size / weight increase was immediately noticeable to me. I wouldn't say that it's an all out boat, but it definitely impacts the handling and enjoyment.
- ]I parked my M3cs next to it, and the size difference was noticeable, which is almost mind-boggling for a 3 series.
- That grill... it has already been talked about ad-nauseum on the forum, so I won't get in to it but man, what a miss by BMW there.
Overall, I see a lot of potential here but BMW has to find a way to shave some weight and fix that grill before it is a serious contender.
Hope this helps...

Ugh! Those two BOLD line have me concerned... Can you elaborate on the "mistaken for M3", I understand it's not a replacement, but would you be content with that for DD?
