The E90 M3 is a great car, if you get one without iDrive. And if you don't care about fuel range. And if you are okay with major internal engine repairs.

E39 M5s are just old. They drive old, and big. Blah.

Any F series Bmw... No.

I keep hearing my friends who own the newer Audi S4s crowing about how good they are. I'd probably test drive on if I needed a sorta fun, four door car.
I agree with you on all counts. Well, the very late ZCP F80s are not bad but they are very expensive.

I’d be all over an R if it weren’t for lack of moonroof. Then again I hear they leak more times than they should.

As for the E90 M3, I thought it was just one big issue that could be addressed preventatively, no?

As for the Tesla, I suspect it will be like the eGolf on steroids. So yeah, not ideal, but if I get enough seat time in a Boxster, I might survive.
