In contrast to my “Terrible Loaner!” thread, I received a White on Black 2014 328d xDrive Sportline today and think it’s GREAT!

Feels better built than the 2013 F30 3 Series loaners I had when they first came out, love the Sportline Rims, Black Mirrors, Red Stitching and Red Aluminum treatment, seats and power feels very good and happy to report the terrible delay / lag of the electronics when the F30 3 Series first came out has subsided in large part.

What hasn’t improved much, however, is the detached steering feel, which feels a little better, but not much. Otherwise, while the iDrive system also seems improved, not happy the car must now be in Park to pair a telephone. Also feel the menus have become too complex, with too many ‘levels’ (in comparison to my 2011).

Let’s see what happens mpg-wise…
