I own a Mazda5 which is based on the 3 which I use as a daily driver and although it lugs around an extra 300 lbs vrs the 3-5, I've been pleased with the handling and better than sticker fuel economy. No major problems so far with 100K mi on the odo.
Good luck with your choice.

Tell you what....
There is a tree of apples.... The apples on the top of the tree are much better than the lower ones, because the lower ones are less fresh, bugs eat them etc...
When you reach for the top apple and eat it, it feels good. Its harder to catch the top apples because they are higher, you have to climb on the tree higher to get them. Its easier to get the lower ones, but not same quality.
So... If you going from the top apple, to the bottom, it will be hard for you again to reach the top apples. So dont make a mistake... Think 101 times and on the 1st after the 100 make the cut ( If you know what I mean).
In my opinion Mazda, is just an amazing car it really is. As a fact, my friend owns a 2008 Mazda 3 hatchback sport, really cute car, and I really like the red lights interior.
But you are going down from a 525i...
Good luck both cars are amazing.

So I left there and took my BMW to the dealership to have the roundel in steering wheel replaced because they dented it and for them to repair the windvisor that comes up when the sunroof is opened. They just installed a new one. However, if the sunroof is closed and you shut a door the windvisor hits the sunroof and makes a metallic clanking noise. The service dept is not the best. The advisors are nice. However, I hesitate giving them anything lower than the highest score on surveys because they could retaliate passive aggressively.

There is however something wrong with posing like you have it when really don't.
I would think much higher of the OP or anyone else if he buys what is in his budget then if he buys a BMW but cant really afford it.
There is a world of cars outside BMW that do very well and are more affordable.
OP, I would do a used Clubman, but GL with your purchase. The mazda is a solid car that will last and last.

Not a question of affording my BMW. It is paid for. I am just tired of the 1 hr drive to the dealer and some poor quality issues. Hopefully everything has been fixed and I can find someone locally to do maintenance. I do not want a car payment and with the economy the way is is I am shoveling everything into savings
