Dissapointment with BMWs to come must read

[Deathtoll]

Dangit I can't find anything with the E30 on top of 7 series races!

what i am scared of is that all of their lightweight cars will eventually ne fwd.... the lightest rwd is always my favorite model

Top gear America did that with a 7 series and an e30... It was called the 10 series.

The american top gear is literally too stupid to watch

What niche market are they going to identify and pander to next? "BMW sales are weak in the 12-year-old-girls segment of the market. Next year we are introducing ponies."

I believe this is the budget option to a pony ... like 316 is to M3.

They wanted in on the SUV market and gave us the X5. Then they wanted in on the small SUV market and gave us the X3. And then they wanted in on the high-performance-fastback-SUV market and gave us the X6M. Alright. So now BMW wants in on the luxury FWD econobox market, fine.

It's not the end of the world yet. I'm just getting a little weary of this focus-group mentality taking effect at BMW.

Sad but expected, BMW is bloating beyond sustainability.

[Deathtoll]

People complaining about a car they will never own or never afford ITT.

Speak for yourself, e30 forum does not make all of us like you.

Nando said it best.

it will be called an M4, not an M3. the M3 will be dead. :p

As for BMW rear-wheel-drive purists, BMW says there may not be so many after all, at least among its small-car enthusiasts. Chief Executive Norbert Reithofer said a survey of BMW 1 Series drivers two years ago showed four out of five already thought their car was front-wheel-drive.

I lol'd ... I lol'd long and hard...



I hope the next M3 is a FWD, 4-door only, twin turbo'd v6... and it can't weigh less than 1700 kg's.

Then I would finally have a legit reason to kill myself.
