The one problem with the G20 BMW 3 Series that BMW needs to fix

There is no doubt that about the BMW’s superior dynamics, which is far ahead of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the Audi A4. We absolutely love the way it drives and sounds, even in the four-cylinder 330i. In terms of evolution of character, the G20 BMW 3 Series is closer to the more driver-focused E90 3 Series than the previous F30 model, which closer to the comfort-biased E46 than the sharper handling E90.

The Berlin Wall was built to keep Western fascists from entering East Germany, but it served to keep East Germany’s people in. The Berlin Wall stood from 1961 until 1989 when the East German Communist Party finally allowed its citizens to cross the border freely. Needless to say there were attempts to cross over, some slid their way through checkpoints and some even dug beneath the wall to go under it. Some however, hid in vehicles and one of them was the BMW Isetta. In this BMW short film title
