Just saw the 30i yesterday in person at a dealer here in the US. Aside from the color choices that all the US launch cars got (San Francisco Red over white) I was impressed by the fit/finish and quality of the materials and this car looks way better in person than it does in pictures. It also looks much bigger. The interior is a big upgrade in quality over my E89. The trunk (boot) is large (relatively speaking) and what really surprised me is the quality of the sound when closing the trunk - not a clunk but a solid sounding and quiet closure.
I did not drive it, eventually I will, but I am still struggling emotionally with the decision by BMW to only offer the auto trans.
