<--Major BMW fan. Grew up with them, had one before my Miata.

To me, the last of the real BMWs, the ones that really sum up the old school mentality of the marque, are the M Coupe/Roadster, the E39 M5, and the E36 M3. Everything since seems to be uber posh, computerized, and aimed too far upmarket for those of us that love the older BMW's for their no frills, minimal creature comforts, performance through all motor efficiency and chassis balance attitude. Not to mention they're all tanks now and ugly as hell.
