These are daily drivers with some doses of performance sprinkled in, not track cars or Porsche's.

I hear people lament how they want a more hardcore car but many never intend to track it. Some drive like your typical scamry driver on the highway, we all hate those types. Then you wonder, why the need for a more hard- core car when they don't intend to drive it hard.
I totally understand that, and in the end, I even described how the 3er is the best daily driver of the 3 cars in this comparison.

While I'm not holding them to the ranks of Porsche's or track cars, I don't see any harm in holding the new car in standards up to the older/past generations, as that is what I'm trying to replace it for, so even though cars are becoming more insulated, I still hold the 3er to high expectations based on my ownership history as well as the high asking price it commands, I'm sure many others on the forums do so as well.
