The E90 was my first BMW...and it still has a place in my heart I still dream of that NA engine and hydraulic steering...but I admit I don't miss the "cupholders"
I'm really liking my new G20, but it still seems a different beast from the E90. Last edited by dpod25; 06-17-2019 at 07:45 PM.. Reason: Some typos |

Having owned every 3er generation, can never wrap my head around those who praise the E9x era or even more perplexing like it over other generations. "Okayest" cars BMW has ever made, especially from a design standpoint. Nothing remarkable about the E9x era and in my opinion broke some design cues which make BMW, such as a driver slanted dash. Instead they just place this plank dashboard atrocity in there and just junky Chris Bangle era design, also found in the E60 5 series even worse. They just felt bloated, and non cohesive in their design, like an awkward step into modernism. Somehow the E82 1 Series dodged that bullet despite being essentially the same technology and time period, had that car (135i) and loved it, so can see why some people like the era. The problem with the E90 is primarily design, but let's be honest that matters.
Every other era feels like the car is designed around you, where the E9x felt more like an assembly of parts. Would never buy another E90 even though it was a good getting around car. F30 crushes it in how much I enjoy the car overall. For me it would be G20, E46, F30, E30, E36, all in about the same regard, each with their unique character and style and..... E9x in a very distant last. The E9X broke too many design cues which make BMW great.

The higher powered E30s were pretty awesome cars (325i, M3) but the E90 M3 is my personal favorite. A supercar engine in the $60k range, great front end and steering, good seats etc. unbelievable.

The way I world word it is that the E9x M cars were subtle in their styling compared to all the loud spoilers and styling cues of the current M generation.

Now let's do it the other way, an M4 pic from Bob's Affordable Used Cars lot and a brand new E90 |

Well that is not fairer, that's just missunderstanding something that is clearly stated
I don't see any F82 comp or non-M E90 in your post.

I said that IMO (In my opinion) non-M E90 (in SE trim) is the worst looking 3-4 series ever, and F82 (Not F30, not F32) comp is the best looking. And pictures belong to those 2 cars. That's it. That's not about fairness.
