Surely F30 is a great car but you will see it everywhere after a year time.
Also A5 is roomier, but the downside is not so good to drive as the bimmer

How come and how come u don't go for the f10 520 instead, it's qualified for the green tax incentive. Even though I am more a bimmer fan but if I had to choose, I probably would pick the e200, I can drive any car that has predictable handling.

F10 is too big of a car for HK, its hand in a e60 in some car park
I think I have said this before. me and my dad swear in our life's that we never ever get a MB.
Its not about the handing its the brand name.

e200 is underpowered, ok on flat roads but will be too heavy up and down hills..............
same with the 520.

328iA is the one to go for, in Auto the performance is similar to the e90 330i.

Guys be careful on the roads, today i saw a poor Subaru WRX STI get stopped by a light metallic grey colour F10 estate unmarked police car!!!
i reckon he was doing 140, so his license is brown bread!!
