The steering center feel is dead on, the Bimmer is without a doubt a better highway car.
My car was made in Feb 2012, so it has the throttle delay software update already. the throttle delay is not bad if I shut off the start stop function. On the plus side, with the start stop function on, I can get about 20 MPG in the city. On the highway, I am at about 31 MPG constantly. Keep in mind this car have not been broken in yet and have only 200 miles.

That comes out to about $57000. I estimated about $2000 for the BMW free mainteance. So the difference is about $2000. There is a BMW drive for usa promotion going on right.
