the E36s will always have a special place in my heart, probably that was when I just got my license...
even though I am never a BMW fan, prefer Mercedes myself
and I have a funny little story about E90
few years ago, when I went to Johannesburg International Motor Show. At Bemmer stand, after I chatted to the sales there about E90 335 and E92 M3. This young guy turned around to chatted to an old man, and I heard him said: "you konw, the 335 is faster than M3 on straight at 0~100km..." (which is true) the man quickly asked: "then why I do need to buy M3?" sales"er.........."
I had to quicky run to the next stand to laugh
