I understand where you're coming from, the e36 M3 was quite good, esp the euro motor.

But we live with certain realities regarding fuel consumption. I would love a solid lifter cam NA 3.2 in a new bmw, but it's not possible today. The good news is that new cars are very good at a lot of things, and very quick, just in different power delivery.

Even better news is that we can buy older cars with great NA motors for a lot less money
