the size of the g20 3 is e39-e60 5 sized, the g20 is like the well educated older sister at this point and not like she used to be e46 party at night wild child, commute all day in a suit. |

I'd agree with others and the original writer when they state that the E46 was kind of the last traditional 3-series in the lineup. The cars got much bigger with the E90 generation and started getting a lot more luxurious as well. Not that that's a bad thing necessarily, since they introduced the 1-series to take up that torch.
The last few 3-series generations are luxury cars that are reasonably sporty and wont fall apart dynamically when pushed. |

That being said, the E82 is a 2+2 without the option of a rear middle seat, so that makes things a little different. The E82 also doesn't have that plain, boxy, Teutonic design that Chris Bangle was trying to get away from. With its sweeping lines, 2+2 arrangement, tall green house, yet still muscular appearance, the E82 kind of reminds me of the modern incarnation of an Alfa 105 series coupes, which isn't all that crazy, since Bangle has a history in designing cars for Fiat and Alfa.

Too funny....I have a client with a REAL GTA and I told him recently that my BMW e82 128i was the modern incarnation of his GTA. He is looking for one for his son as a first car. I've gone so far to think about putting White triangles on the fenders with four leaf clovers.

Notice how the cut line on the front bumper matches the white nose on the GTA. Coincidence? I really want to put some chrome driving lights up front.....
