First off no one can tell you which car you should buy, because that's up to you in the end. Only test drives and deciding what your priorities are will determine which car you should get. Also 3 series is broad...330i...it'll kill the TSX. 325i is a better comparison.
Advantages of the TSX: Honda reliability, cheaper to repair, more for your money
Advantages of the 3: RWD, a more sporting pedigree, huge aftermarket

I think you'll find much better opinions reading car magazines online (like edmunds, C&D, etc) and test driving yourself to formulate your own. Obviously if someone buys a 3er they like that better, and the same for the TSX. Two different cars for different kinds of people.

Tsx or Bmw
Just looking for opinions, while I understand the owners of the individual vehicles will be biased torwards theirs; I thought maybe one can share why they bought one over the other. I also read the reviews at Edmunds and some magz.
PS: Test driving tomorrow.

i had heard that the tsx has a 4 cylinder engine which is nice and all but probably isn't going to give you the power if thats what you are looking for.
it'll give you better gas mileage
but nothing near the power

ur kinda comparing two different fields. the beamer is more of a sports car while the tsx is kinda a luxury family car, remember its basically an accord with acura badging. but its all up to you what ur taste in cars is.

i vote TSX. Not only is it cheaper by a considerable margin, i think it looks better. You get almost the same features on the TSX as in the 3 series but for about 10,000 less than a 3 series, considering if you get a brand new 3 series. granted, you don't get the bmw emblems and the rwd, but i feel that acuras are just as good. plus, based on your other thread, i think the 3 series is more "girly" than the tsx.
