Well, of course everyone is biased about what they chose to buy, but of affordable modern BMWs, I'll give an honor roll call out to my current BMWs:

1) E39 M5. My daily driver for almost 12 years now, and it is amazingly still a relevant car. I'm picking up a F80 M3 on June 3 (ED) but I will keep this car. I think it is the most balanced car I will ever own.

2) Z4M coupe. The last of a breed from BMW - iconic I6 S54, MT only, minimal electronics. Another keeper.

3) Z8 - I'm not a convertible fan but I would love to have this one (would probably put the hardtop on). I'm a big fan of the S62 in the E39 M5, and this car is so beautiful...
