So much negative to talk about BMW nowadays.
Hope BMW finds its mojo back from the E46, E39 days.
I hope not. G20 and G30 are much better than E46 and E39.
LOL. Thanks for the morning laugh!
From the stand point of driving dynamics, engineering, safety, technology and quality any G-Series BMW will be leagues above any E-series BMW conceived 20-25 years ago.

Who wants to deal with leaky power steering hoses and failed power steering pumps?
You also have to consider weight and size. Larger, heavier cars do not handle as well. And in terms of feel, the electric steering, as yet, cannot match the feel of hydraulic steering. And of course those older naturally aspirated inline 6's were a gem. Maybe BMW's turbos don't have as much turbo lag as others', but they still have turbo lag, and sometimes it shows up when you really need instant boost.

The safety, technology and quality, of course, is worlds ahead.
