Upon arrival, I was hugely disappointed as they barely had PCARs (except a couple 300s and an A3 that was marked "needs oil change"). The girls at the counter called their offsite lot, found another A3 and were going to give me it, but then it turned out it, too, needed an oil change. I was offered a 328i, first for an extra $22/day, then I talked them back down to the same $10/day I was offered initially. As I was about to pick that one up, a 228i rolled in, but was a little dirty which I couldn't have cared less about. Drove the thing all over L.A. today and am totally in love. Steering feels feather light compared to the S60 (of course it would for RWD vs AWD) and is definitely lighter than the 3er, so the 240 hp is more than adequate and the torque is immense.
