Yup , I think you are right. They are addictive. The best I had was a 2001 E46 M3 .. I liked driving that car so much , I even drove it through winters. Kept it for 3 years and probably put 1K repairs on it tops....
Even though I sound pissed at my X's right now , I paid the 1100$ today at the stealer but the min I hit the road with my 4.8 beast , huge smile on my face. I'm a BMW junky I guess
