Yes, they still make drivers cars for those who pay attention.It just seems that the sporting demeanor is no longer the corporate mantra for the entire line, not just a select few.
There was a time when a BMW was the top drivers car regardless of the segment. That is no longer the case. Your E46 and your F30 are beautiful. Quote:

I get it, but I don't think it's ugly one bit. My only regret is not buying the 2002 LSB MCoupe that was at the dealership (at a good discount) when I went to pick up my 1st MINI.

It's in hibernation right now. Plugged in and under cover in the garage. Arctic silver (maybe boring, but I like it) with black and blue interior.

Tell me more about your M5, that is a grail car for me.

My first was a 2002ti, such a blast to drive in Germany. This baby was heavy modded when I got it and scary fast for the times.

This thread is getting a little derailed. That said, very nice! ^

Oh yeah.... nothing ugly about it to me either. My all time favorite BMW body. But ugly seems to be how many referred to them as back in the day. They were wrong, of course. |

That's a Euro market model.
Very fun and amazingly practical minus the lack of rear seats (works for me). They have a pull up net that separates the hatch and front. My dogs used to ride in the back. Both 45 pounders. Yes cages would have been safer, but it worked out well. |

I think this is an American version with what looks like a cage in it: |

My past 2 vehicles were BMWs. I thought they were pretty good drivers, and maintenance wasn't terrible until I crossed the 120,000mi barrier. At that point both vehicles developed a habit of surprising me with a $500-$900 repair about every 1.5 months despite my being on top of maintenance.
I just got a 2017 Audi S3, and I have to say that the interior is WAY nicer. So far I'm really enjoying it. I had driven my friend's M3 Competition, and that vehicle is amazing and violently fast. I love it but the price tag was way too high for me. At some point I'll get a used 911. Not practical as a daily driver but I must have one! |

And, FWIW, did not find it unreliable. My 2014 X3 35i is definitely not better in every way -- not that it's supposed to be a sports coupe -- but it does have practical advantages in many contexts, and even the smallish SUV seems recognizably a bimmer. Last edited by djg; 12-08-2019 at 09:44 AM. |
