My wife and I were in the 1er today with the top down and I was loving the drive. My wife made a comment about how much I like my car. I replied, there was something more special about owning the e36 m3 and e39 m5 because when I was young they were such aspirational cars. The 1er was an 'easy' purchase in comparison, not nearly as emotionally driven. That m3 is the most perfect color combo, and I WANT it. Reality is it would dissapoint, but emotions are what they are.
