Yep, sstarx2: I LOVE the way they drive! I owned a Mercedes before my 1st BMW & tho it was fast, it felt like I was lugging a tank up to freeway speeds!
The say I traded it in fit my 1st BMW, on the drive home I instantly could feel the difference: much more noticeable pep. I've never owned a M, in any of the 3 series I've had only because I don't like its overly sporty styling with the carbon fiber trim, etc.
Since we're on the subject; I saw a spanking brand-new 2017 Audi Q7 in the parking lot of our local grocery store...now that SUV had some serious sleek styling! Much too big for me(I'd prob opt for the Q5 if going the Audi SUV route.) Or, the Audi A5/S5. I think they've really stepped up their game lately trying to compete with BMW & Mercedes head on.

Audi is making some noise! I have a 228i, which more or less replaced the 328i coupe. The new M2 looks pretty awesome to me! I like the smaller footprint, but the 2ers are not the most comfortable for my girls in the back seat and getting them in an out is a pain, but we have gotten use to it.;)

Yes, the 2 series is a pretty sweet little package! I love the new 4 series coupes/convertibles too, although they more or less look like smaller versions of the 6 series.
I'd REALLY like to see BMW come out with a new generation of the 8 series(not their i8 electric thing, but THE real 8 series from the 90s.) With the 650i/M6 being their top of the line coupe...I dunno if there'd be a market for it? But, it sure would be cool to see it redone!
The new X7 super SUV should be coming out very soon, too! That's way too much car for me, but a larger, premium SUV from BMW to compete head-on with Range Rover, Mercedes & the Escalade is long overdue.
Lol, we should try to talk Duane into setting up a sub section of the forum for non furniture/The Keeping Room discussions about topics such as...cars that forum members & he are REALLY into! I don't consider myself a gear head, but I love talking about & hearing other ppl's stories of their cars. Ooh, & home entertainment tech(what's latest & best Smart tv out, surround sound system, etc.)
