I voted for the new one, but as just about everyone has said, it's pretty much a draw.
The old car worked the same magic for me, I became a BMW nut mostly because of it, and I didn't know until it was stolen that the engine was as stock as it was; always looked in top form.
The new car is everything I want my car to be... but for the paint. I liked the Dakar II better than the Ferrari.... keep it in the family
Everything has to evolve at some point to survive, and "Dado's yellow M3" has evolved to the next level.
