Yes, it is a good idea to rent one for a full day. 15 minute drive with a pushy salesperson doesn’t give you the full picture. 3 series is a good place to start. The 6 cylinder is better but the 4 cylinder is not slow.

LOL, he’s just doing his job trying to sell you more expensive car. I’m almost 50 and I daily an M2 😄

Daytime running lights in combination with digital dash. I don’t understand how automatic lights are not mandatory.

The e46 will probably keep going up in value but so will a low mileage f87.

But money doesn’t seem to be a concern for you.

Yes, I would do it. I daily my f87. I drove the e46 M3 few times (and owned couple of supercharged 330s). The M2 is a better daily in every aspect. It comes very close to being as good of a weekend car as the e46 M3.

I went from a supercharged e46 to M2 5 years ago and never looked back.

BMW. They are still very successful by attracting different category of buyers. But I hope their sales will start sliding and they will get back to what made them famous (it was great handling, classy not flashy styling)

Bruh, you almost mentioned Jeep and reliable in the same sentence …

My pick would be 2014+ Mazda 3. Cheaper than Toyota or Honda without sacrificing reliability.

It’s a good car but at this age it could take significant maintenance to make it reliable

Porsche GT3RS weekend car

Ford Raptor

The magic number for me is 180k. I do some extended maintenance every 60k so twice in the lifetime of the car.

It used to be simplicity up to around iOS 5 or 6.

But these days it’s as complex as Android but I still stick to Apple because now I’m used to it.

Yes, you can always drive a fast car slow. It’s not intimidating.

I think the phones would be smaller and the camera wouldn’t stick out

E90 3 series BMW. Significantly improved with the facelift.

They have some pretty nice cars. I like that the EV models don’t look stupid.

Heater vent.

If something gets lost in there just accelerate in reverse and slam on brakes 😆

No, I don’t like this feature so I disabled it permanently.

This, my friends, is how you do black wheels.

With the car prices these days it’s gonna be hard to get a significantly better car for $5k.

There is a good chance the “new” car will need the same $2k to fix up as your Accord would.

It looks significantly different from an average car. The shape reminds them toy cars.
