I loved the look of my silver 2011 e92. It reminded me of the Aston Martin DB5 in the early James Bond movies. I'm currently driving a BSM 2014 435i... until Monday, when I pick up the MGM 2018 440i. The 435i has never felt as much *my* car as the 335i.. but the new one is the first I've ordered, as opposed to buying a new car off the dealer's lot, so I'm hoping for that connection.

Have to disagree with you about the seatbelt caddy and ingress/egress. Maybe I'm a bit taller, but the longer doors of the coupe agree with me more. A friend has an e90 and it's a little tight for me getting on and out... but he doesn't have an electric passenger seat, so there's less headroom than a power seat that's all the way down. I have a friend who's built like an NFL linebacker, 6'5" and 325 pounds of muscle, and he fits just fine in my car.

My wife and I have become so accustomed to the seat belt caddy that were both wait for it when we're in her Mercedes C300 coupe. We recently rode in a friend's Bentley Bentayga and it even has them in the back seat.
