328i. But having had N54 and N55 cars, the N20 wasn't the problem. It was a combination of the size, detachment and really just the departure from what I thought made a BMW a BMW. This was an LCI, I'd imagine the original F30 would have just caused me to set it on fire.

We didn't want the car, some kids in a stolen car hit and totaled our E84 X1 35i and we needed a replacement. The LCI has just happened and early reviews said it had addressed lots of the shortcomings.

Now to be fair, we bought an E82 135i because the E90 felt too big and boring. We bought the E84 because the E91 felt boring and only had the N52. Hell, I even bought my M Coupe because the M3 felt big and boring. So perhaps it's not surprising that the one time we actually bought a 3er, we didn't like it.
