I may be a little less passionate than some here but it was the best car I ever owned. It didn't do any one thing better, well maybe its bulletproof reliability, but it just did everything so well, it drove well, it was solid, it handeled well, and it just kept running even after I was rear ended by a pickup truck on vacation. I even drove it home from there, and the pickup went home on the back of a tow truck after rear ending that rear bumper that everyone seems to dislike. They are getting old now and I have a 535i but I am still thinking about another one. Mike W.
