This is a great discussion. I have often asked myself, do I love this car or do I merely respect it? I agree with everyone who suggests modding the suspension of the 2fers because you can start throwing them about but sometimes I ask myself: is respecting a German car for its superb engineering the same as loving it? Can you love a German car in the same way as you can love an Italian one? I'm not sure. I've beefed up my N26 228i about as much as makes sense and yes, I think I love it. There, I said it.

Sometimes, loving a car comes with a price that isn't worth paying. It's better to really, really like a car it makes sense to own, rather than love one you can't actually use to go to the supermarket.

I'm determined to get an M2 but in the meantime, I am enjoying the crap out of my modded 228.
