I totally agree. But would you risk it for a horrible E91 with cloth seats and business nav?
No, I wouldn’t, it has to be something a bit special at the very least, I quite agree!
Modern BMW’s - or indeed anything - leave me cold, I’d far rather a mint e28 over an e60 or - heaven forbid - an f10, an e38 over an e65 or even f01, an e21 over an e46 and so on.
The later ones are technically superior undoubtedly, do they have the panache of the older “originals”?
Perhaps my age, I don’t know.
The e91 though for all its potential flaws still ,just, beats a generic spec Ford / Vauxhall equivalent....
