Pros

Now with independent rear suspensions

Choice of M156 and M157 V8s (different model years)
Rather robust engine lineup save for the M272/M273

Wonderful M113 V8 makes a return
6-speed manual and 5G-Tronic widely available
More elegant than pre-facelift

Cons

Bad 0-100kph time
No powerful engine options
Only available with small engines
Still uses MacPherson struts in the front

Not as elegant as its predecessor
Widespread use of 7G-Tronic transmission
Troublesome M272 and M273 engines

Stuck with MacPherson struts in the front
Bad 7G-Tronic transmission
Troublesome M272 V6 engine
