Ok, just to prove how bad generalization is, a white Suburban this morning not only signalled to move in front of me, but he waited until I left him a decent gap, and he even gave a 'thanks' wave. - I withdraw my truck criticisms

I owned a 320 for about 10 months. I bought it to use as a tow car for trailering an XR2 race car. It did the job very well, and it was an excellent freeway cruiser. My problem was that it felt very remote - kinda like playing Gran Tourismo. I put this down to being a base model. Another gripe that I had was that the service intervals, indicated by the service lights, were ridiculously short (approx 2500 miles) which wouldn't have been so bad had it not cost 300 pounds(uk) each service.
More recently, I drove a workmate's 330, and, although it was faster, it just seemed unengaging.
BMW make great cars and I know a lot of people who love them, but I'm not one of them.

I don't think i'd drive a regular 330 around, not fun enough for me either
however a twin turbo 3 series is a little different and definitley a blast to drive

Do both turbos run in tandem or are they sequential (sorry, I don't know the terminology for this.) ?

They work together, no lag @ all though
power is amazing up top...low end is very nice as well.
no understeering here, I spin the tires all day long if traction control is off.
