What's the need for a door handle you have to pull twice to open the door?

I think my only true interior gripe is the door storage pockets. This looks like something out of a Chevy. It screams rushed. The only plus side is it fits a water bottle or other large items nicely.
My 335 didn't fit large items, but was much better made and I loved the "accordian" expansion of those on the 3.

Do you have the auto? I drove the auto M235 first - and was expecting big things. It is quicker than both my old TT, Cayman and current Z4... yet walked away very disappointed.
I then drove the manual, and the delivery of the engine over a longer geared 6 speed changed it's character completely. |

It just seems counterintuitive to me, because a MT has always made my experience seem faster, even if it wasn't.

Yeah odd, that's certainly how I found the auto/manual comparison.
I had the old one coupe (only a 120D) but that car had so much feel. Perhaps it's the fact that the newer model is a fair bit more civilized and hides it's speed like all new cars seem too |

I keep getting a light in the dash that reads "let clutch cool."
It has popped up every day since I took delivery on Friday. Called BMW and they have such little experience with the car, that they don't know the cause of it. It should be noted that this isn't my first time at the rodeo as far as stick goes. My e90 was stick and I never once had a problem with it.

Are you getting any strong smells ?? Can you "feel" a difference when the light comes on vs. when it isn't ??

I guess I'm one of the few who absolutely loves the auto. Countless friends who I've driven have agreed that it's as close to a DCT than any other auto they've been in. They are very less gimmicky which I love when I'm not in traffic.

[QUOTE=epic;15662552]Still wouldn't trade it for any other BMW out right now. :P

[QUOTE=dmboone25]totally agree. no car is perfect and this car has a few items i wish i could change. that said, the nitpicks in this thread (mine included) are nominal and don't come close to making me question my decision to buy/drive it. this car is an absolute blast to drive, while offering a level of refinement that appeals to me. ymmv

Here's my little nitpick, BMW Assist isn't working in my car. Somehow BMW messed up coding their system, and because of that, my VIN can't be entered into their system. So until BMW NA fixes something with their computers, I have no BMW Assist.
Oh, also I can't find the black performance grills anywhere... Other than that, I am in love with this car.

+10000 just such a different experience any way you break it down. I am a die hard manual transmission fan.
