20102dr Coupe turbocharged 211hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual AWD		More expensive than competitors
20092dr Coupe turbocharged 170hp 2.0L I4 Diesel
6-speed manual AWD		Price is too high. The quality of the car when taken to the test, does not justify the price.
20082dr Coupe 354-horsepower 4.2L V8
6-speed manual AWD		Expensive base price as compared to a 335i (but still less than a 650i). Horrible leasing factors leave buying as the only real option.
