I replaced my 2006 E90 330i with an MY12 ZSL 335i. It was in the shop overnight to work on the brakes. I was given an MY11 E90 328xi loaner.

When I got my car back, I said to myself, "There's nothing -- nothing -- in the E90 I miss. Not the interior, not the styling, not the steering, not the first-gen RFTs, not the N52."

When the E90 was new, the forums were full of people bemoaning the loss of the E46's "BMWness." Now, their successors rue the loss of the E90's "perfect steering."

But the fact is the F30 is a BMW in every way -- and a better BMW 3 than the E90 was.

Being a neo-Luddite seems to come naturally to BMW fans.
