Yep I had a 1999 BMW E36 328i Sport manual back in 2005, Techno Violet with silver leather, It was a lovely car, however I spent thousands on it with Eibach/Rogue Engineering bits to try to improve it dynamically as never really got on with it from a handling perspective. It was a mistake really as they should be considered more as a GT car than a sports car, and as such it's a totally different animal to the Impreza. In terms of comfort and getting places at ease and pace, the BMW was great and a lovely place to be, but in terms of fun and outright performance it was no match to an Impreza. The gap would be even more pronounced compared to a convertible as E36 cabs were never the best of drives!
