I liked my e46 and e92 when I owned them, but when I've had the chance to drive similar cars in the last few years I realized that I wouldnt want to go back. I kind of have that issue with any classic car- in theory, sure, I like the idea of a lot of olders cars and would like to drive them for a day or so. But in reality, I wouldn't really want to own one. I've slowly been spoiled by modern conveniences, tech, etc and there would be very few days where all the stars would align to be able to take an older car out by myself on the perfect road with the perfect weather, etc. One thing that always annoys me on pretty much any older car (even well built cars like meredes and 911s) is the amount of creaks/rattles). Just drives me nuts. That's fine if its just a cheap beater, but not for something i want own and really enjoy. If aFor any sort of daily use type of activity, I find that I always prefer the newest car possible.
