I had one of that bodystyle when it first came out, a '97.?? At first I was 
skeptical because it didn't have the boxy shape of the previous version, to 
me it just "didn't look like a bimmer", but in the first mile of driving I 
could tell it had everything over the old one.? Is it a stick?? I drove both 
b4 I bought, found the automatic was a slug compared to the 5spd.? With 
everything I loudly decry changes when they're announced but after using it 
I usually have to eat my words.? I was like that when the M8 came out too.? 
"Needs IR filters???!!! Crappy high-ISO???!!! 1.3 crop factor???!!!? 
WTF???!!!"? Now I'm like, "Hmmm, great files!"? 

Drive safe amigo.
