Everything in life is a trade-off; I do like the simplicity of my 1995 Club Sport, and it's still a ton of fun to drive. That said, my 2 Series returns virtually the same fuel economy as the 3er yet it gets to 60 mph 3.5 seconds faster than the ti, and in the 0-100 sprint the 2er is 17.5 seconds faster.
So I'm not all that averse to modern technology...
