Since 1952 to 2023 approx 66(Sixty Six) but being a member of MIMI ( member Of The Institute of Motor Industry) and during this time from a Morris 8 Series E to a Macan T bought for my Daughter far to many to list. The Best of them all a BMW E30 M3 RAVAGLIA followed by Macan GTS in 2018.Thoughts on the MacanT it is no GTS but it is more than adequate in todays traffic but think the Screen instead of the Buttons on central Consul is a very retrograde step by Porsche Penny Pinching comes to mind when you must look down for settings with buttons you get to know by feel what you want to adjust and much SAFER eyes on the road where they SHOULD BE

Good to hear that the Macan GTS was in second place out of 66 cars! :)

Do you have any photos of the M3?
