Ride and Handling
Well-designed chassis with balance and comfortable driving modes. Corners well and diesel offers enough torque to always feel sporty.
Fuel Economy
I am currently averaging about 40mpg on my commutes.
Styling
Has classic styling and good lines. The vehicle looks good even at 5 years old and will continue to do so for some time.
Cost to Maintain
Most of the stories of high costs of maintaining a BMW are myths, as most aftermarket products are made on the same assembly lines. my current price dissatisfaction is the cost of diesel fuel and EPA standards. diesel has more pollutants in ppm than gasoline, but gasoline pollutes more than diesel and it is not even close. The government wants you to believe that diesels are bad though, but even with the horrible price increase at the pump, I bet mine last longer than the EV lithium batteries.
