Last of breed

Now that BMW is retiring the naturally aspirated straight inline 6 cylinder engine for their 3-series, here is our indomitable soon-to-be-a-classic 328i AWD with manual transmission!

Terrible build quality (it really is a General Motors car). A friend got one and it got returned 29 times before all of it's problems were sorted.

That Panamera wagon looks pretty good. Looks much better than a Cayenne, too.

My old '92....sold to a buddy for $500...had 237K miles and rear hydraulic suspension was shot. He had a buncha 3 and 5 parts cars. He converted rear suspension to non-hydraulic, changed wheels, removed roof cargo rails and transplanted an M3 engine and 5 sp in it...nice parts getter sleeper now.

My wagon which I had to give up! Greatest little thing around - Magna-flow exhaust with MTM chip stage 2 with larger injectors and down pipe! Sweet Quick and Good Lookin! (The mods were done after this trip to Vermont and New Hampshire)
