early 2000s were 20 years ago

430i

The difference between acceleration is really minimal. 435i or 440i is where you can notice the difference. 430i not so much especially 0-60 (it is the same)

428i really is more than enough in normal city driving. Unless you are overtaking somebody at 150 mph, you do not need a 435i

so a 2019 330d that would absolutely destroy your e92 is not a real bmw? My chipped f30 320d would also beat your car 0-60 let alone my 430d

S and M are not the same. S still shifts automatically. How do you people own a car and don’t know that there are 3 different transmission types

That’s M not S

Many here don’t know the difference between SPORT (S) and Manual mode (M)

S shifts automatically

speeding up on a ramp = destroying your timing chain

The only people who think that E60/ E90 doesn’t look outdated are the people who own them. The e60 interior looks like it is from 1990s

If you are looking for “power” then you will be disappointed. That x3 will not be faster than your stage 2 535i.
