Agreed! I've always liked the 3-series, but it always bugged me how the speedo cluster housing was so bulbous. (sp?) It makes it nice to have the speedo right in your line of view, but it looks odd. Anyone else notice this? Also, the ergonomics aren't nearly as good as some cars costing half as much (ie. the window controls on the center console) and don't get me started on the tacky orangish red lighting. JUST MY OPINION.
And for anyone who thinks I don't know anything about BMW's, I've owned a 1997 528i.
