Just saying, but there's more to cars than 0-60. I would be happy to give up a couple tenths of a second for some more steering feel and engagement, not to mention with every increase in horsepower they make it more and more difficult for RWD models to have enough traction.

Stage 2 tuned B48/B58s are doing 4.5s and 3.6s 0-60 respectively, I would bet my money that when Bm3 cracks the S58 is supercar territory performer with full catless dp, intake and catback exhaust. My guess is 650bhp on stock turbos after tuning, based on seeing what the B58 supra can do tuned with a single turbo. Last edited by Avaley; 09-22-2020 at 04:25 PM.. |

Kids do say realist things, don't they. It's just a pure opinion without being muddied by hidden agendas and skewed senses like some people that plan to buy one and therefore have to defend their taste at all cost. |

I think what BMW is and represents is probably different for everybody. To me, they make cars that feel a certain way. Maybe not the fastest or coolest, but theyÂ’re a pleasure to drive. I think they still do that today. I hope and assume these new MÂ’s will continue the tradition. For the record, I donÂ’t have any social media other than this forum. I think the front end looks great. I think the front of the F80 is good looking too. I wouldnÂ’t call you a terrible person, I donÂ’t know you. Just saying there are real fans that like this design.

Reminds me of these...
These controllers probably inspired the car color choice. LOL |

It seems like all they are talking about is HP and TQ. What about drivetrain dynamics? What about weight? What about size? What about chassis setup? What about steering? Just besting the power is far from out performing the prior gen. |

the exterior yes, but interior no to me the e92 and f82 look awesome in their own ways. the g82 strays too much from BMWs design language. It's not just the grill that bothers me, it's pretty much the whole exterior doesn't fit with me |

It'll probably be on some kind of masochist p**n website.
Google "car designer destroys entire brand" and it should come up.
