It is a young man's mercedes, those who want a certain class but do not want to be associated with 'apeks' or chinamans mercedes. That aside I find the e90 very bland and safe design compared to the e46 and seems to be a corrective effort by BMW to address the mixed reaction to the 5 and 7 series. If not for the familiar BMW front kidney grill and headlamps, one can even mistake it to be a Toyota Vios or a Korean car in terms of design. One of my friend in the US commented that it looks like a Toyota Corolla due to the small and narrow look, in the end he bought an Audi Quattro and a VW Golf for his wife.</blockquote>
