At least it isn't a huge vehicle, and I was happy to pony up another $30 / month or so for an F Sport model so that it isn't a complete bore to drive.

Just curious did you check out the 3-series GT? My gf is a realtor and that seemed like it could be pretty ideal. Huge back seat for clients, big trunk etc. That's on the short list for when her lease is up.

A GT? C'mon. You strike (at least via your posts) as a purist. I legitimately think the 3GT and 5GT are criminal. I prefer to pretend they don't even exist, as I cringe when I do have the misfortune of seeing them.

If you want space, get an f31. Wagons are timeless.

Well it's not my car we're talking about here. I did just buy my father a 328 Sport Wagon and install Dinan Stage 1 on it. Great car.

The 5 GT is horrible I will agree with you there. The 3 is much better, and she drives a TON so the fact that I can get an exec demo 3 GT sooooo cheap is appealing. I'd prefer that to an X3. Also don't want something too tall for clients to get in and out of. Would I be happy driving a GT? No. For a realtor doing 20k miles a year with clients in the car and all her shit to haul around for a good price and still a nice car? Sure.
