BMW has always been light years ahead of their time. I'm so proud to own a car made by this incredible company.

Good article on modern bmw's:http://www.autoblog.com/2011/03/09/o...ming-too-soft/

Essentially they sold out to the shareholders to drive up profits by selling a more boring car, SHOCKING!

I think it's kinda cute. There ain't nothing wrong with BMW making a car for modern times. Face it, the world is changing. Many technologies are becoming obsolete. With the world's depleting oil supply and all this global warming hullaballoo, how much longer do you think the internal combustion engine is going to be around? If car companies want to survive, they have to start dreaming up alternatively powered vehicles. Not everyone can afford an i8, so the i3 is a great car.

Think about it, BMW would never build a car that's not at least fun to drive. So here you get a car with an excellent heritage, probably very comfortable with all of the amenties you get in a 3 series, only it's affordable and clean. And no, it's probably not as fun to drive as an e30, but it's probably better than most alternative fuel vehicles on the market. Ain't nothing wrong there.

I'd rather have one of these than a Prius or a Nissan Leaf. And I'd sooner be able to afford one than an i8, or a Tesla.

Remote brake reservoir from the 2002 like all us carbon airbox E30 M3 guys run.... glad to see BMW still utilizing a part that gets the job done!
This is good for us... it means carbon fiber parts at a more affordable price with the new plant up in WA. They will probably expand and make carbon bits for all the models as they surely see the potential for customers to buy them for their E90's and whatnot... I would run CF fenders instead of plastic ones any day...
Thumbs up to BMW for taking a step in the right direction with electric cars. Thumbs down to the haters, this has nothing to do with your $2k E30... Wrong target market!

i still think CF on a production car meant to be driven daily is a bad idea (until the cost of producing CF comes down)

no one will be able to fix your car expect BMW. Oh yeah, thats what they want.
