The 3,4, and rwd 2-series are the real BMWs

I still have two of the four 3 series I've bought. There are several reasons the 3, 4, and rwd 2-series are the real BMW's: They are the cars you want on a track day. The 3 series has more leg room and trunk space than a 5 or 7 series or even an X5 (if you count trunk space as the area behind the rear seats and under the cargo cover). And, according to a Road & Track story on 12/12/2018, the 2019/2020 330 has a different, and theoretically better, power steering setup than the M340. The 330 unit wouldn't fit in the M340 because of the engine. I couldn't tell the difference on a test drive though. People who diss the 3 series may not know what a real car can do. The lack of demand for real performance is why BMW is making fewer and fewer good cars, and more and more luxury pigs.
