Only the older ones without screens. A naturally aspirated inline 6 with a manual gearbox and 50/50 weight distribution is it's own special kind of bliss.

I only take it out maybe 20 times per year, but after merely 30s behind the wheel I remember why I keep it.

And no electronic steering like the newer ones.
The B58 engine + ZF8 is probably one of the best engine/transmission combos BMW ever built. And arguably one of the best combos on the road today.

Very reliable, efficient and fast. It's all the other things that break.
