Shortback
...having never owned a Bimmer, I wouldn't know about materials used. I have driven a few though and wasn't quite taken in by the cabin quality enough to want one! the 3 series' image was a problem for me too.I watched that one as well what a tidy motor and a bargain as well. Why can't i find/haggle like Mike can.
Are you suggesting that BMW use better materials......
