That's stupid.

A 2019-2021 Genesis G70 2.0T manual is a better, newer car for the same money or less.

My dad has a 2.0T with the manual and I've driven it a few times. It replaced his E39 M5. FWIW, dad also has a 330Ci manual that hardly gets driven.

It would be better with the V6, but it's a fun little car and very much feels like a modern E46. I've never driven a ZHP, but I've driven many 330s; the G70 handles better and is faster than any of them. I do prefer the more linear power delivery of the 330 though.

Did you sell your dad your 100-year-old 330ci?

Correct.

I had a 328Ci. The 330Ci is a cabriolet. I wouldn't mind having it myself though.

I never really liked the F10 but I will definitely make an exception here!
