Please provide link for 54%. I thought the M5 weighs in excess of 4300 lbs?

Thanks for the info, brava09. Can you please let me know where the table for the 53.1% is obtained from?

The wife and I are trying to keep an open mind about the styling on the front grill but I believe we are going to pass on the M3. In our opinion the looks of a car are important and we understand beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We had a F80 that we purchased new in July of 2014 which we kept till August of 2018. The F80 was our weekend / pleasure vehicle since we have several other vehicles in the house hold. We chose the F80 over a new Cayman GTS. We then transitioned to a 2018 BMW M5 (F90). The F90 will paid off by the end of the year and it will remain in the garage. My wife misses our F80 and we were considering the new M3 but I think we are going to pass due to the grill design.

Yes, the C8 has a controversial style, especially the obnoxious side scoops and ugly rear, it has no MT available, and is now mid-engine with less HP than some wanted. Traditionalists were up in arms at the launch and blew up the internet. Yet today, they cost MSRP or much more, and 2021 production, even with a newly added second shift, is sold out through half of 2021. |

Everyone knows it doesn't matter what a new model looks like it will always make the previous look dated based solely on the fact that it's new. |

And by that logic, the E46 should have the visual appeal of a Model T at this point. Not exactly the case... Getting better looking by the day.

Regardless of how much you like/appreciate the look of the e46 it looks dated next to its successors. How dated is in the eye of the beholder. Last edited by f80er; 09-24-2020 at 09:55 AM.. |

The E46 certainly looks good. But it does look "dated".

As opposed to, well, previous gen owners just thinking the new one looks like a turd. The previous gens are becoming more attractive, not less, in the wake of this release.
