There's always "the era" for any brand.

I feel like BMW's golden era was from early 90s to late 2008, where they were among the best in motorsport (F1,DTM) and adopted bulk of the technologies in production cars just like the Mercs in recent days. In early 2000, BMW M hit a jackpot with E46 M3 and E39 M5, followed by decimation of its competitors using F1 inspired engines in E6x/E9x. It's what got me into BMW in the first place.

Fxx~ is a different generation all together. Much more subtle and user friendly. Interesting? Not so much... tries too hard to beat its competitors rather than setting a standard with innovative technology. Maybe the others have gotten too good.
