RossG1028 I live off of a road that is fairly low traffic outside of rush hour and it has 3-4 roundabouts in a row. I loved taking these things in my TTS and am looking forward to them with the 230xi. The F30 335xi is just not nimble enough for small roundabouts like these ones, but is great for ripping through a large roundabout where you need to sneak in.

On the 330, I test drove a 330xi and I was incredibly underwhelmed, it is obviously optimized more for efficiency than performance and you can really feel it. It felt incredibly boring to drive, even in Sport, maybe I should have tried Sport+ and maybe a JB+ would help it. I drove my 335xi, then the 330xi, and then the 230xi all back-to-back. The 230xi was the most fun which made that decision easier and saves me some money. It is unfortunate that the quality of the interior and HK sound system is a step down and there is no HUD but atleast with the LCI models they have a slightly larger digital speedometer.

I would prefer 4 doors having dogs but 90% of the time I drive solo, and then for most of the remainder it is just my fiance with me. For the dogs we usually take her Subaru Legacy.
