Motor Trend has the 2012 F30 328i as the top gun among 8 sports sedans that it recently tested against each other. The 328i took first over the Volvo S60 T5, Mercedes Benz C250, Audi A4 Quattro, Lexis IS 250, Acura TSX, Infiniti G25 and Buick Regal GS.
MT editors spent all of three minutes declaring the BMW best in test and best in class. This was not just a win for the 328i — it was a massacre, a slaughter, doomsday, armageddon. Those are words straight from Motor Trend’s mouth. Read on inside.

It seems that the 2012 M5 (F10) increasingly needs to look to full out sports cars in order to find the appropriate competition. Multiple outlets have already compared it against the Nissan GT-R and now Autoweek pits the F10 M5 against the Jaguary XKR-S in a showdown of two cars which possess both gentlemanlike and hooligan traits.
