I found the 3 series very uncomfortable - felt squashed in the cabin and no real room in the pedal area even though I am only a size 7/8 shoe.
Seats that after 10 minutes, I just could not get comfortable in.
The steering felt 'dead' (it was a 320d), but yes, it did hold on in the corners, but I just felt cocooned in it, not part of it.
The 5 series felt 'cheap' inside and I didn't feel like I was sat in a £30K car - this was a 530d - although, I put my foot down and it did shift.
The interior (this goes for the latest A4/A6) also didn't feel like it belonged in a luxury barge too me.
To me, the only Beemer I would consider would be a 2002Tii or a MK1 M5 as they have that 'WOW' factor (a bit like the RS2 or original quattro UR), the rest, for me just do not 'float my boat'.
And yes, I agree that a lot of Audi drivers are very bad, I think this is being that most are now a favourite for the company car driver, like it was always the BMW as the first choice................
That's it for now
