An oldie but goodie comparo from R&T 7 years ago...

I'm not suggesting that BMW bring back the E30, E36 or E46, but I enjoy driving my naturally-aspirated, S54-equipped, 2004 M3 much more than today's bigger, heavier, turbocharged, automatic M3/M4.
In stark contrast, Porsche is still developing and producing AMAZING naturally aspirated engines, as well as AMAZING manual gearboxes for its GT cars.
