 Well, some of us have the means to go get a 135i or new M3, but don't want one.
 
 Every time I drive my E46 after my E30, there's no question about which car is put together better. The '80s cars were just plain better. And DIYable too. The new cars are nothing but rolling annuities for the dealer service departments. "Hey, I don't want my interior lights to come on when I open my door". The old way: reach in and move switch to different position. Cost: $0. The new way: wait at dealership while technician reprograms your "entry lighting options". Cost: >$50. Progress for whom?
 
 And I will resist as long as possible buying any car that makes me GUESS how much oil is in the crankcase. Gimme a fukin' dipstick, fer chrissakes! :)
 
 So, I am keeping my E30 M3 for sunny warm weekends, and buying a nice, rust-free 150K mile E28. And not because I have to, but because I choose to.Comment

 I love E28's and E34's. I'd love to have one as a comfy, cross-country type DD.
 
 I'd really love to get the girlfriend one as it'd be a BMW, but be big enough, nice enough and quick enough for her to enjoy driving something a bit old school. She love's my E30 but wouldn't want to drive one daily.Need parts now? Need them cheap? steve@blunttech.com

 Jesus H Christ on a rubber crutch. Oh, my waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles hurts and I can't pull the dipstick out of it and check my irritation level!!!
 
 ;)
 
 All you do is push a button on the steering column and it gives you a graphic display of the oil level. Hell the car will tell you if it needs oil even!
 
 Oh, and if you're real nice to your indy mechanic, he'll program your car for free. You don't have to go to a dealership.
