Was only saying what a bunch of very experienced experts have said about these cars! I've never actually read any particularly overwhelmingly positive reviews of the older E84 but obviously a lot of people like it! A car is about so much more than its drive orientation though, especially this type of vehicle. Let's face it, if you want a properly sporty drive with flat cornering you don't buy an SUV. Most SUV buyers are looking for practicality, tech & kit which im guessing the new model has plenty of. Personally I'll stick with my F30 6 pot rocket as I don't think I'll ever be in the market for an SUV! I'd have thought the 3 series tourer was the best bet for those seeking more space & practicality AND sporty RWD drive
