I've got to chime in here. Completely agree with the OP. The only other BMW I've owned was a 2002 330xi. While it was a lot of fun to drive, it was also not very quick and incredibly unreliable. I decided to buy a new 2016 228i based on not much more than the very similar dimensions and the excellent driving experience. It was a great decision for me. I really like the damn thing. It's also AWD, but for having a nominally rated 15 additional horsepower, it sure seems to have a hell of a lot more power. Perhaps that's due to the 8 speed better at keeping in the power band. Whatever. I have no regrets and am thoroughly impressed. I'm seriously considering a jump to an M240xi in 2019. I just hope the Estoril blue is still available.
