I tell you this, nothing will replace the E46 generation BMWs.
The way E46 handled, feel, size, engine, over-engineering, etc.
People say F22 2er is the replacement but it is far from it.
BMW began to lose their mojo with the F chassis/code generation. |
Agreed, but I'd argue that the E9x and E8x were the start of the decline in driver involvement. Sure they got the N54 and N55, but they lost the mechanical LSD, steering wasn't as sharp as the E46 and weight was sharply up.
I'd love a low mileage E46 ZHP, I think they're probably the last truly memorable non M BMW.
