E92 BMW M3 USA PRICING - Page 2

Again: Active Width adjustment: You drive a sharp left hand corner and the right side flap of the seat pushes, so you have more support... If you were fat, you wouldn't need this since you'd be squeezed into the seat anyway...

Apart from that...yeah...I've bought the wrong car images/smilies/lol.gif

Have you seen a RS4 in person? Absolutely stunning.

I have. I have also driven it. Still...I find Audis boring cars.

Yeah, right. The new BMW design is sooo much better looking. images/smilies/lol.gif

Contrary to popular opinion, I love the Bangle design of the 6 and 7 series! The Z4 is unquestionably a gorgeous car and the 1 series isn't so bad either.

5 series isn't my thing. Agreed, the M5 is a cool driving maching, but that doesn't make up for its lines. The new 3 series is too conservatively styled...except for the coupé which stole some lines from the 6 IMHO.

youngwarrior · August 18th, 2006, 05:25 PM

The entire BMW line-up is questionable. All 6ers are ugly except the M. All 5ers are ugly except the m sport packaged version. The Z4 is utterly disgusting, the E90 is a step backwards from the E46..... BMW is going downhill, all you hear about is complaints about the ride these days and its ugly exteriors. Audi are on the up, they headhunted the guy that sorted out the handling for porsche and then BMW, and now hes worked his magic on the RS4 and MK 2 TT. All the other new models will be recieving his touch, so audi's future is looking bright.

200HP MK2 TT FWD version only 2 secs slower than the Z4M around hockenheim race track images/smilies/lol.gif

I believe a certain Top Gear Girl would hafta disagree images/smilies/lol.gif

youngwarrior · August 18th, 2006, 05:45 PM

the Z4 only looks ok from the back. The rest is butt ugly.

bone · August 18th, 2006, 05:52 PM

^the other way around

the rear looks like the front of an old aston martin

the front is ok

Wizegui · August 19th, 2006, 01:28 AM

The thing that im most dissapointed is that they've taken away the straight six engine from the M3. That was a proper BMW engine and it sounded really nice. As for the BMW range, I rather like the 5 series and 7 series. Just that the new 3 series looks abit ugly with small rims and the 6 series just looks abit like a pig.

Hey, how did you read my mind like that?!? images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

M3lover · August 19th, 2006, 12:55 PM

Ok, off-topic

M5 looks superb
6-series looks good, especially the front.
Z4 is ok
3-series sedan is a little boring IMO, haven't seen the coupe on the streets yet so i'll wait with that.

There is no telling if the V8 in the new M3 will be a downstep from the I6 yet. So far everything the M-devision has put out of motors has been superb, so why shouldn't the new V8 also be so?

youngwarrior · August 19th, 2006, 01:38 PM

The V8 is a derivitive based off the M5 V10.

This V8 should be very good, then....can't wait to hear it.

Danny Tran · August 19th, 2006, 06:35 PM

That V8 should shound INcredible.

I really hope it blitzes the track...

no more can the RX8 and 350z be its rivals. images/smilies/wacko.gif

But that doesnt automatically mean that the RS4 is a bad buy. JC loved the RS4, and thought it was better then an M3. I still hope he think the same after driving the new M3. images/smilies/smile.gif

well i do think the RS4 is worth the price, but now for 10 grand less i could get the M3. Id need to see a side by side comparison of the M3, RS4 and CTS-V to decide

There ya go, made that one easy for you.

^ such bias! images/smilies/lmao.gif

JC liked the CTS-V, I think it's not that bad if you can get past the cheap feel of it. It's still not bad to drive.

Yeah I know.... I was more going for a laugh than serious thought. I drove a CTS-V a few months ago and I didn't really like it. But it was right after my father got rid of his SRX, and all I could think about was the fact that the dashes were totally the same.... boring.
