While I loved my E90 cars (I had 4 including the M3), they were not reliable until my 2011 335d (which was excellent) and 2013 E92. I can’t count how many X3/X5/X6 cars I have had and the current generation is among the best ever. I would say I have a slight preference for the F15/16 generation over the current one, but it’s a slight preference. As for the G20 chassis 3/4 series, I don’t own one, but have plenty of seat time in the 330i and M340 setups and it is an excellent car for the money, particularly the 330i m sport. At under 50k, the 330i m sport is simply the best sporty sedan you can buy today.
yea 100%... i had 2 x E92 335 and 1 x 135i... N54 and N55... these cars were relatively fun to drive but I would never own them again... they are honks of junk and this is why we almost don't see any of them on the streets anymore. I could argue the F series Non M 3 and 5 were not spectacular but then the G Generation completely fixed them. Just like mentioned above... your 2 cars are the only ones from BMWs yesterday that I would remotely consider unless of course we start to move into the 90s and we say E39 M5 w 6sp because again V8 and from the 80s E30 M3 for obvious reasons. I would not want to have anything to do with even an E60 M5 nor the regular 5 because they are also honks of junk.
