So the BMW 3-series is the "big news" and the title of the video, and yet, you spend the least amount of time talking about it out of all the cars presented in this segment. FAIL.

How can this guy say the 0-60 time is 4.4 seconds and then hear that Car & Driver quoted 3.7 seconds?? How can it be so different???

@GregWn Very good overview, my aunt owns one and it's not too bad but everything you said is correct.

Problem with the 328i is the harsh engine breaking when you let up on the gas. At slow speeds, and especially in stop- and-go traffic, the heavy engine braking is enough to get many nauseous as the car does not easily coast to a stop. Further, the car emits a very high-pitch sound for about 45 seconds every time you open or close any door or the trunk. Finally, the run flat tires give a less than comfortable drive. On the positive side, the steering is great, and the iDrive is superb.
