Don't hande as good as they used to and are not as reliable as they were.

No, I just understand the evolution. I mean, I have an e36 in my garage right now that I can drive and have had many classic Bmws and Mercedes. Of course they are different. I welcome the advancements, but at the same time, of course understand where you are coming from. Just unfair to compare. That being said, I love the refinement of the new machines, and the computer integration doesnt bother me. Naturally I am a mechanical engineer/computer engineer double major so I appreciate all of this. Now, if they take away our 6 speeds, I will be disappointed. no doubt.
