If you are a true driving enthusiast (or want to be seen as one) and can afford a true enthusiasts’ compact sports sedan, equipped as you want it and wearing that pricey propeller badge, you will enjoy the BMW 3’s image, driving dynamics and (down the road) strong resale value.
If you can see beyond the vaunted BMW badge and would like an equally satisfying luxury-sports compact for similar or significantly less money, there are a lot of excellent alternatives beginning with the Audi A4, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Infiniti G37, Lexus IS and the new Cadillac’s ATS.
