I'm in the older crowd. I have a built e46 but would love an e38 750il or an e60 M5. Mine stays in its portable garage. There's a night and day difference in the feel of driving the 2. Mine has the feel you expect. The purist wouldn't like hers. Don't get me wrong it's still the ultimate driving machine just not as ultimate lolthat’s bad ass. good for her!
i had a buddy who was big into the older BMWs. they have a massive cult following and a huge community.
