Alex, What Is... Building them right?

Drive a 318 Ti and get back in your Neon, I swear it will feel like a 
Rattle box.. I bring the Z3 in for service and I get Corollas, Altimas 
and Ti's for loaners Once I got A Neon The Nissan was Bad the corolla 
was worse The Neon had more road noise then My convertable and was 
Really rattly. Fun to drive Yup But you could tell where they saved the 
money... Build quality.. The ti drives as good as any other bmw, and is 
Rock solid (no rattles) I think it's worth the 10 large any day, The 
diffrence is a lot like the diffrence between the Z3 and the miata..  
(New miata's are worlds ahead of the old ones) but. they still rattle, 
Slam the door it vibrates the whole car like a tuning fork. I still 
catch myself driving A little slower past the Mazda dealer wondering if 
That Blue sport pkg is in yet.. hummm.

at

Metro.
>What in the world is BMW doing to make them so heavy?
