I had mine for 2 years and with regular servicing and petrol, it started with aplomb everyday. The engine is just time-testedly robust. I would love to have an E34 if I commute on bigger highways everyday. But, in a pure urban environment with tight roads, tight parking and 16 traffic lights from point to point with bumper to bumper traffic jams, the E34's mass and weight can be overbearing. It does feel that it can repel a mortar attack though. The E36 however feels nimble and alert even in 318i guise. Rear passengers are more likely to complain about the E36's limited room compared to E34. Surprisingly, the E39 feels "lighter". Same thing with the Merc, the older generation felt clumsy, like a fat lady. It's latest incarnation is much sharper and manoeuvrable (speaking from personal experience).</blockquote>
