3-Series Saloon video review

Summary

Refined, packed with gizmos, image
Expensive, ugly, cramped in the back

Compact is the entry-level baby-Beemer. All the badge-kudos and fancy engineering, in a smaller and funkier package. At least that's the theory. Thing is, it looks like its been in a rear-end shunt and isn't really that cheap.
