The E84 is great for what it is, it is a crossover so centre of gravity is quite high but the architecture is old school, it's based on the previous 3 series not the f30 or whatever the hell it was that felt bloated and middle aged. It also feels quite analog and the optional 3 lite turbo is a REAL sleeper, TBH the 2T has plenty of grunt but the 3T is just silly, in a good way.
So it's no sports car but that bit of ride height will help in winter and the steering feedback is excellent. The 3T will inevitably need a water pump and the 2T i believe has some sort of chronic issue that has to be dealt with preventatively, engine related.
