"love em" is a bit strong, but is closer to how i feel than "hate em"

You cant knock them really, RWD and great build quality, and some fantastic engines in the M3's etc.

Ive just got myself a 328 sport, after selling my Series 1 last year, and I absolutely love it, but it doesnt feel as raw as the S1, but everything else is top notch

Great cars far better than mercs IMO

we've got a 740 with a 4.4 v8 and I foooken love it even at 155 (on a private road) its still quiet!

If I get rid of my cossie I may well get a 330 for a little while to tide me over

I don't love them, not poxy 316's anyway, but the M's and the like, yeah. Decent cars, better than any Ford





I'd rather have an M3 than a Saph.
