Those models also have the updated SI engine, with less cooling system issues, and 255 strong horses. Not the most efficient engine from BMW, but probably the best inline, NA 6-cylinder. My wife had a 2008, and it was very quick.
I want it, too...

Then saw a black over gray TLX. V6 advance, so a loaded FWD. 2015. Very nice interior. More intimate size (less Barge like). So took for a spin. Daughter and I both loved it. Tons of power, and rode and handled nice. Great seats. Could work for either one of us.
She actually wants to try the ILX too, since it is smaller, and plenty big for her. I plan to drive a 4 banger TLX too, and will be checking out the 2018 remodel when it arrives next month.
Nice car. Just seems to fit what I like, and not too big or bulky.

You just aren't going to fit in here, but the car will run for 150K miles or (much) more with little drama. Not many on here think that's a good thing.
I do, and I couldn't be more pleased with my '08 TSX with 130K miles on it.
Good luck with the search.

The GTI / GLI is much better looking.

could probably sell that to the wife. She was OK with the 2015 I came close to getting! And it really is not that much money.
we were discussing cars on the way to dinner (after princess and I told her about the nice TLX) and mentioned the GLI, and she confirmed what I told princess she would say. She does not like VWs, no way, no how. Not a big deal to me really. Plenty of other options.

SDA, she just does not care for them. I don't ask for a detailed explanation on some things. Just accept and move on.

IMHO, I wouldn't want it if it had to be repainted. Paintless dent removal? Ok.

I can tell you, using the prices from the website, that the lease payment would be under $200/mo before tax.
But, as noted, I'm totally buried under my current lease.
And, I'm with q - PDR would be fine, anything else, probably not.
I'm just going for an evaluation test drive. No intent to talk numbers.

PDR has gotten really, really good in the past few years, it seems.
If only I wasn't stuck in my current lease.

A vehicle for each day has always been my lottery dream. The only difference in mine is that I would not have a mechanic ir detailer on retainer because I need to do something with all my free time since I'm not working anymore.
Oh, and mine is a 10-car garage because I need 1 for the racecar, 1 for the lift, and 1 for the lounge.
Of course, you also have to wonder where the heck I have to go 7 days a week if not to a job...

This reminds me of the marketing flop with "organic cigarettes".
