My father and I each drive mildly modded E36 325is'. Combined, we have well over 350k on our cars. They have both been the best combination of reliability, ease of repair, utility, performance, and driving dynamics either of us have ever owned.

E46 is a mild revision of the E36 generation. Many of the supposed ills of these cars are greatly overblown.

New bimmers make me sick to my stomach. They look like japanese cars. No wonder sales are up. gross.

Ideally, I'd drive an E34 535i or M5, the last of the non-CAD designed ones that are super overbuilt.
