I was a big e46 fan, but less of an e90 fan.

I've always liked the look of the e60 and the refinement is much better than the 3.

Could have used 4 doors for years now, but couldn't get away from my previous M3's. The 545i is the first car that settled me into 4 doors without complaints.

Power, handling, looks and toys are all there!
