" the sad truth is I think I'm too old to enjoy the stiff ride and loud exhaust now"

Oh man, we're getting old.  I'm beyond *getting* there.  :-P

I just reanimated my 98 M Roadie.  Compared with my 01 325iT (with coilovers and aftermarket swaybars), the Roadie is a visceral ride.  Mostly fun, but *constantly* giving you an overload of feedback (and just plain NVH).  I drove it a bit over the weekend (and to work today), but shortly after, I hopped into the wagon.  You know, the wagon is actually a better car in many ways.  It's still sporty with good feedback and I feel more trusting in it.  I love the fact the Roadie is a true roadster, and that is fun.  But it sure takes a lot more out of this old man.

I haven't left the Manual Gearbox Preservation Society though.  :-)
