Another what car thread...

[C.A.R.]

3 Series isn't really a proper 'drivers' car, it's a quick car yes, but hardly something you can point and shoot down a B-road in anger.

I used to think the exact same thing and was worried of the handling especially coming from a 6, but given how mines setup now I'd completely disagree, it's very very chuck'able for the weight and the nose goes exactly where you point it

There's reviews all over the net stating how good handling both the e46 and e90 has.. About how they are a real drivers car & love to be driven hard in the twisties..

I don't doubt that they're a quick car with good handling, but they're not a car you can grab 'by the scruff of the neck' and really push your luck in - they're a big car at the end of the day, nothing like what a light-footed hot hatch can do.

I'm the opposite to silverzx in this way, because I'd prefer to avoid anything with a turbo, rather than seek out something with one.

The N/A engine is condemned to the history books. It simply can't compete with modern emissions standards and the only places we are likely to see them on future cars are high-end sportscars / supercars, an area where they are already thinning out.
