Reply to comment by Putin_off_work in [OC] Every car I’ve ever driven, their country of origin, make model and transmission type. My spreadsheet goes into even more detail by crlogic

My favourite car to drive was my very first car, my 1999 BMW 740i Sport.

It was fast, smooth, and luxurious and very high tech for its age. Even compared to todays cars. And it’s cabin was less than 65dB at highway speeds, it was awesome

I daily an E39 540i. Mid 90s to early 00s was peak BMW. Also, as a BMW tech, if I made a chart like this, it would be 90% BMWs, and I'm kind of regretting not keeping track over the years. But it would probably be a couple thousand cars 😅

Totally agree! The other BMWs in my list are an E83 X3 3.0si, F10 535i XDrive and an E90 328i.

Yours would have been awesome. What would be your favourite?

My favorite so far is easily my customer's E39 M5 that I've been restoring for the last year. We had a high output engine built by Partee Racing mated to a diffsonline race prepped transmission. We recently got it dialed in on the Dyno and the thing is a riot. As far as current gen cars go, the new i4 M50 is an amazing car, as is the new i7. The i4 is just stupid fast and nimble, whereas the i7 is a big luxury boat with more tech squeezed into it than you could imagine. The new M cars are cool, but they don't do a whole lot for me. They feel too numb for what they're supposed to be. At least with the i cars, being electric, I expect them to be more numb and reserved feeling, which they are. But it doesn't take away from the fun of driving them. The only newer M car that I really enjoy is the M2 comp. It's a much more analog feeling car. I'd love to take one around a track one day.
