Why is this car in such demand ? It is an even lamer (as a drivers car) effort at a sport sedan compared to the 300 IMO. I would choose the 330i over any iteration of the new IS, heck I would even jump in a base 325i before the IS.

b/c some people want luxury and reliability over performance. Not everyone wants a car that break down the first few years of ownership no matter how fun it is.

Have you driven the 350? Its a pretty well built car and the aesthetic features are pretty nice.

Because the interior of the BMW is either cheap-looking without the nav, or stupid-looking and annoying with the nav and idrive. I wouldn't buy a new BMW based on the idrive and dash design alone. I spend a lot more time sitting in traffic staring at my dash than I do flying down deserted back roads. The e90 and new 5-series are steps backwards in looks both inside and out from their predecessors, IMO.
