Probably VBR vs CBR issue. Virtually everyone hooks up their phone via an aux cable or A2DP these days.

CVT in our Prius is smooth. Not sporty but great for regular driving.

The E46 was the last sporty three series IMO. E9x are ok and I'd imagine/ hear F30 is more like a Lexus than sports car.

Attached. In my experience Fair Value is what most places offer unless the know they can resell easily.
