Don't get me wrong the E46 is a wonderful thing and it will never leave the family, but if I were out shopping today I would not look for another one if we didn't already have one.
I guess, but ask me in ten years and I’ll say the same. No nav screen, hydraulic steering, small size, manual transmission...it was the end of the “old style” era, and the 135i isn’t much faster than an E46 M3 (in stock form.) Plus, I’m sure lots of 128i owners would agree with me, and those cars aren’t super fast.
Not talking M3, we were discussing 330.
