All those years I and many others accused them of being BMW 3 series fan boys. Now I own one, and I realize they were right! This car is awesome! And you don't even fully realize it until you've been driving it a while. The more I drive this car the more I love it!

Yeah, I never got it either until I got mine. There is just something about BMWs...despite the little annoyances, you get in the car and it just feels RIGHT. Hard to describe why, but between the seats, the steering, shifter, etc...it pushes all the buttons just how you need it to.

Now that I'm selling my E46 I am trying to decide which older BMW will become the track toy...

I was about to say the same thing.

ditto. For years racing/autocrossing/modding cars I knew guys who always said "dude, you need to get an e30, they are the E36 M3 for general cheap racing and modding." I always wrote it off to purist-ism (is that a word). Then I got an e30......and realized that they were right all along. And now I rallycross an e30, race someone else's e30, and have an e21 project.....and have pretty much sworn off having any project car that isn't e21-e30-e36. Because they're great to drive and great to work on . And amazingly cheap to do both as well.

when I got my Ti, it had the typical E36 problems.. non-working OBC, broken window regulator, leather flaked off steering wheel, airbag light on, and blown out shocks/struts with bad bushings.. the steering was so bad due to the LCAs that you turned the wheel a a second later the front end grabbed and you turned.

But even then, I understood

There's not much else to say. The customer service was great, I received them way quicker than they told me I would, they fit and look great, and don't move once they're in. What more can you ask for in a floor mat?

I still remember the first time I drove one (an E36 M3). Oddly enough, the same thought went through my head about C&D, "So this is what they've been talking about all these years!"

There is just an indescribable "rightness" to BMWs.
