2013 BMW 328i Sedan review notes - AutoWeek

EDITOR WES RAYNAL: Opportunities to drive the BMW 3-series come all too seldom. And now you got to throw the Cadillac ATS in there as well because it's that good, too. It's tempting to write off 3-series drivers as tools, sort of like Porsche drivers. Smug, too-good-for-you types who think they're just so above it all. This particular 2012 BMW 328i sedan: there's a lot to like here, a reminder that sometimes all you need at the end of a day is a car that drives well. It looks good, too, with longer dimensions but still small-car elegance and simplicity. I can think of few things I don't like about the way the car drives. Sport and Sport Plus turn the thing into a hooligan. Normally I whine about BMW's runflats tires and how they can tend to mess up the ride. I have no beefs with this car's ride. Overall, if I had a 3-series in my garage it would be a wagon with all-wheel drive. DIGITAL EDITOR ANDREW STOY: Why on earth would anyone spend $47,000 for this decidedly average rear-drive compact four-cylinder sports sedan. Source: autoweek.com
