^^^This right here.
I've love all the BMW's I've owned. One of my favorites was my first, a '88 528e with a 5-speed manual with of 125 hp if I remember correctly. At first, the gears were tight and hard to shift. I complained and the dealer told me, "just wait until it breaks in, it will loosen up and be perfect. The dealer was right. That car wasn't fast and it certainly wasn't high-performance, but the engine was smooth, the transmission was fantastic, and the suspension and brakes were excellent. I'd put on classical music and take the long way home every chance I got.
I love the modern cars, but that memory will always stick in my mind.
