Don't sell yourself that low! Describe yourself in BaT talk.... "A gallant and vernal chap, recently reanimated with verdant verve whilst gallivanting through neoteric lands.

hhhahahahhahaha

I watched that one, the desire was strong.

A $42k 3 series might be crazier than the 125k mile M3 for $49k.

Name a better wagon for $42k in production today 🤣

I bought a 2022 Subaru Outback brand new for my wife cause that's what she wanted. Right in that same ballpark money wise (little less). The worst car I've ever owned. That head unit is unbelievably bad and the CVT, good god. Dumped that thing for a new VW Tiguan R Line Black. At least that thing shifts properly and doesn't ride like a meandering elephant.

Honestly, part of me wishes I had bought this.

I recently sold my 6-speed RWD E91 and don't really want another one at the moment (even though they're amazing cars) but I was still tempted by that one.

BMW doesn't make anything new that's comparable to that E91. The spec is doing most of the heavy lifting there though. Manual and RWD is uncommon. Throw in M Sport and a desirable color combo and it's a low-mileage example? You won't find another.

Speaking of non M e9x cars, how do we feel about N53 powered cars?

I'm not an expert but that was one thing I liked about the wagon just above, the N52. My limited research on N53's doesn't paint a good picture, but I don't have actual ownership experience.

Also not an expert, but early direct injection gives me a serious case of the nopes

As good as the n52 is, it's boring. Almost too good and linear. I remember the m50 and m54 with more fondness. N53 just sounded like trouble, but I have no experience.
