Quite entertaining to drive, 5 speed of course, and shorter than a w123 so easier to park in the city.

I just got my first BMW, too, at the end of May '13 and LOVE driving it. Been to Canada, already, last week to LA again, and the SF area, and Carson city/Reno all within the past several days, If you enjoy driving, this is the car for you.
I have already racked up 16k on it and just can't get enough time behind the wheel!
Mine is the M-sport version though.
I have heard that some of he 3 and 5 series ones around the age of yours had problems with radiator parts being plastic, but there are ways to upgrade them to metal, so look into that for sure.
