My point is there's a lot more out there today for the money that will smoke this car.

A. I don't live in California
B. Illegal vehicle isn't exactly driving an M1 tank in the carpool lane
C. Sure there are faster cars but not that get 40 MPG @ 80 mph!

I'm surprised people are reporting they still have brand new 2011's in stock near them. I can't imagine a dealer would want to keep a 3 series around that long. They *might* keep a rare car worth over $100k in inventory for a few years, but not a 3 series!

thread was started in 2012.....car was discontinued after 2011 (body change). New model is a 328D, more efficient but sadly no where near the performance numbers of the outgoing model (3.0 motor vs. new 2.0).
