Old school enthusiasts would giggle at current enthusiasts. Get to a 100k miles on a car and THEN you will know how to drive it...keep a car 10 years. Don't buy the hype. With every generation BMW M cars are getting WORSE to drive not better...so enjoy what you have. Spending money on maintenance is cheaper and smarter than spending money on a new car!!!
I could argue the complete opposite, enthusiast should want to drive MORE cars in their lifetime than just a few. years ago there weren't many options now there are endless ones (hell just look at how many choices there are for small SUVs with 400+ HP). Also as someone else said the technology is changing faster than ever, 5 years between cars is a big difference now, look at tech and performance numbers between generations (the new M340i xdrive will almost keep up with a G80 M3 on the street). Why be trapped to one car, you only live once
