To date, I've purchased 28 new vehicles (35 if motorcycles included), and my 1997 M3/4/5 was probably my favorite. I loved the "cockpit" style interior and 3.2 engine. Another thing was the solid bank vault like thunk the doors made when closing. Until early 2000's both MB and BMW had that great solid sound....guess it went away as weight saving became a focus. I wish I could buy that E36 new today at $46K.
