A reference regarding BMW330i

PASTE:

Mini Cooper at 25, Golf GTI at 35, 330i at 45 - you might want to resist the 
clichéd inevitably of life, but when it presents a series of choices as 
attractive as that, why fight it? And so the world beats a path to BMW's 
door. The question is, has BMW kept its side of the bargain and delivered 
yet another world-beating saloon?

Well, it looks good. The proper 3-Series proportions remain: the integration 
of wheelarches into the wings gives it a modern look, and there's that 
strong defining boneline through the door handles. The banana curve on the 
sills isn't as wilful as in a 1-Series either. OK, the tail looks like a 
sharpened version of the last Nissan Primera, but overall it's a fine job. 
Inside, the controls are conventional and clean, and better for it - iDrive 
is an option, and controls only navigation and the phone. The driving 
position is just so. You wear this car like a good suit.

END PASTE
