Not about power. It's about how cars feel. The E9X is connected in a way a new BMW cannot be, IMO.

People should go back to keeping the cars they love; instead of searching for 'newness'.
I always get a kick out of these comments. I mean, I get it. But progress is progress and my F80 left me remembering fondly but never missing my E90 and my guess is whatever I get next will leave me feeling the same about my F80 (which I've LOVED). I love my cars but these aren't exactly air-cooled Porsches or something that has a true nostalgic/historic joy to it.
In regard to the e90 m3, it had a na, high strung v8, which is something that is difficult to find for the price of an m3. The most similar car that's reasonably modern is the gt350.

Progress isn't always in the sense of for driving pleasure alone. A lot of recent "progress" has as much to do with complying with gov mandates. It might be progress in a social sense, but is little more than a compromise to driving pleasure.
