Honestly I think my 2010 3 liter E89 is everything we wished the little Triumph was
I see them pass through
bring a trailer auctions and I think , hmmm? But no better to just own the memories.
Well sure, if you go by just the numbers....nearly 400 HP compared to about 50HP and torque discrepancy to match!
There is no doubt that I, and most, appreciate the advances "sports cars" have made in the last 50 years....but there was something special about cranking up that little non-turbo-charged four banger and driving to work along country roads early in the morning. Now I don't drive to work; which is an absolutely wonderful thing! I love retirement for sure. And, I do love this new BMW, although I do wish it had a manual transmission. As you say, it's the memories of past glories I suppose.
