The BMW AWD system is a fucking JOKE. And there is already an M5 ill be happy if they DO NOT come out with an M3/4
thats hot, but im with jay on this 1
BMW L6’s are smooth as silk, but their V8’s aren’t too shabby either. A V8 is still a naturally balanced engine.
As for the E90, meh…still not crazy about its looks. Nothing will ever top the simple beauty of the E30.
Looks like a car one of my customers would buy. He had to get rid of his M3 because of a baby on the way…So he bought a 300 SRT-8. He said the SRT-8 doesn’t feel that much slower, and it does handle very closely to his M.
<—Can’t wait for the rumored M4 to come out. :snky:
X…
I usually buy QUATTROS but I was thinking a 330XI.
Why is BMW AWD a joke?
I’ve seen some preliminary photos of this car. Looks decent.
I still love the E36 m3 4dr sedans
M3 vs. Audi RS4?
Pssh… RS4 hands down
you cant dislike it - its undisputably hot…but…i like 2door better…and maybe even the overall e46 better
Well, lets see. The point was to say, “I would rather have an XJR than an M5 because the M5 is ugly,” you said, “Because Jaguars are known for reliability.” Well, the implied alternative to the XJR would be the M5 because that’s what the original comparison involved. So the implied alterantive to your statement would be, “Because the M5 is known for more reliable.”:shrug:HEH.
And the rumors are now that the 3 series coupe will stay the 3 series coupe. Not sure if that’s changed.
you know what I loved about the E30 and E46? the understated balance of line. you can tell someone sweated those “simple” lines, re-laying the tape over and over until it was right there. the 5 series had that too, great proportions, great stance.
the flame styling has grown on me a bit, sure. but it just doesn’t have that teutonic feel. flame styling would be bad-ass on a modern camaro, but notsomuch on a bimmer.
Thats putting words in my mouth. But if you want to get right down to it, I think BMW is a better car than Jaguar. The Brits have a way of making nice cars that just don’t last.
Do you mean current M3 or this new one?
I do love the RS4 but Audi is still trying to play catch up to BMW in the performance arena.
No, it’s not at all. Unless you just hate logic… I really only think the XJ is worth consideration.
BMW is kicking themselves for not producing an E46 M3 sedan, as when the E36 M3 sedan was in production it outsold the coupe every year…
It always breaks, it’s poorly designed, it’s just a crap AWD system. Besides it handles well enough RWD in the snow.
wow i would have thought it would be a good AWD system…my boss loves his but that isnt saying much because his is only like 5 months old…and he really doesnt know much…
They updated it a two years ago. The newer system is much better.
Yeah, RWD bimmers with traction control and Winter tires are fun.
X…
i agree with that to a certain extent. i dont think they are trying to play catch up, i think they are trying to be second place. i really do. even though in recent comparos the rs4 edges out the m3, in every single one i have seen anyways.
bmw’s new gen m3 will be better, it wont just eb edged out. but if the motor sounds anything like it does in the current m3 i would still take the audi. i hate the m3 motor note
