2016, that’s about when BMW went totally downhill.

The BMW 3 Series was last included on Car and Driver’s 10Best list in 2023. It had previously made the list for 22 consecutive years, from 1992 through 2014, but the streak was broken in 2015.

Last year I bought a 2013 BMW M3 Convertible, the last year of the V8, 44k miles.

I’m treating it well, hopefully it returns the favor!

“2016, that’s about when BMW went totally downhill”

Wife had a 5 series when we met in 2001.

So glad when we got rid of it in 2003! On first name basis with their service techs.

Toyota/Lexus since. Only normal service in 22 years.
