I agree...except they said the ugly F30 was prettier than the E90.  Pre-facelift, the E90's no looker, but had they gotten a post-facelift model, it wouldn't have been close.  It's very well possible that the E90 could go down as the best all-around 3 series of the line.

The F30 is far better looking.

Cougs will say the author is lying because it's not possible for cars to get worse with a new generation.

The E90 interior looks much nicer in design than the F30. Can't say I felt a huge difference between the two when I sat in both, but then again I didn't experience those back to back so I don't know.

...then you add in the fact you can pretty much get a  CPO e90 335i for the pri ce of an F30 3238i, and the whole thing becomes even more one sided

I'll take a good, NA 6-pot over a turbo 4 any day.

I don't know anyone who wouldn't, all things being equal.

I figure the last E92's will probably be sold at fire-sale prices once the 4-series comes out
