Grandma gets her newest BMW
 We have been BMW enthusiast since the early 70's.  I also ride a '05 R1200RT 3000 mile trips tent and sleeping bag. I would agree with the negative changes in the newer cars. The loss of steering and brake input. I have had many 2002's -'68, '72, '73, E28 535i, '96 328iC, '02 325i all fun to drive.  But the driver experience of our pervious BMW's is much greater than our new 2016 328i M sport. Even the Sport+ mode the road input is lacking.  The newer BMW 3 series have become IMHO homogenized  : (. Its been a year milage is 13,225. Still stand by my above comment. One trouble some thing. The internal exhaust tip is coated with a heavy carbon build up (soot). We have a Mercedes Sprinter 3500 RV. The internal exhaust tip is super clean and its a diesel!!   The black carbon on our BMW is unburnt fuel, as I understand. Why else for the carbon build up. Dealer says its the norm!
