I didn.t find it out till I just got the car, my first one, and I AM REAL OLD (65). But I tell you, it's the best car you can buy for driving pleasure and joy that there is.
Do you know if it has the N54 or N55 engine (twin turbo or single?). I specifically looked for the N55 single-turbo with the DCT, avoids a lot of the N54's HPFP and injector issues. In the 1 its an absolute blast.


The 328xi I have as a loaner is a fantastically comfortable car and completely planted in the corners. The auto-stop-start is really annoying though, I had to disable that.
