I liked my '94 manual better but this handles nearly as well

I crashed my 94 525 manual, which I would have had until death did us part, but I had to have another, fast. So--maybe I could have done better if I looked around a bit, but this one is settling in just fine. Don't know if it is the tires (used versus newer performance tires on the old one), but it has all the power and about 90% of the handling as my 94.
I read a review about the pathetic cup holders in this model, and it's true--nothing more annoying than a cupholder that lets them tip!
I can't think of anything bad, I always buy used, I buy lowest mileage--I think this has around 80K, and if you had a lemon, you need to check them out better next time by taking it to a trusted mechanic or developing a mechanic BFF. Give me a deck full of CDs (sound system in this one is better than the stock in the older one) and the sunroof open, I am happy turning the corners.
