Why would a 3 series be of any less quality than a 5 series? I've driven the F10 and F30 and they've always seemed to be bolted together just as well as each other. Its not like they are fundamentally different cars other than a few things the 5 series line usually is allowed to have that are more luxurious (like nappa leather or auto soft close doors or pretty trivial options like that) and larger size. The tech is barely going to be different as well. Maybe if you are very tall or very fat, does the extra size really equate to a ton more luxury.

And as for deals... i'm sure there will be quite a few deals on the 3 shortly after it comes out, its not an M2 or some limited production model.
The 5 is a step above in luxury and 3 is step below in sports... what is the point of a 3 then?

It's become a mass market car which generates cash flow for BMW R&D to build cars like M2, M3, M4, M5, M8 and the likes.....
