Referring to E30 might be a good way to win an argument about how old was better, just because most people didn't drive it and just fed by the imaginary greatness of it. It sounds like "Make BMW great again", referring to a time no one knows about.

The new new garbage grills and lines are just gross. iNext? I mean wow. The new 3 series is as big as the e60 too. Think about that. The ONLY good thing about them is they hide the massive size |

Exactly. The dude has a better design sense than BMW designers. (!)

I also thought C6 was vastly superior to C5. Still do. But most people aren't paying attention. To them a C6 and e60 can both pass as new ultra expensive cars despite both being 10 years old and cheap. (I know from experience, it's annoying to be considered wealthy when your really not) I consider this to be a hallmark of good design. If you ask them what they think of your 2006 Cadillac and it will come off as 15 years old. Style was too novel and aged poorly as it strayed too far in an attempt to be shocking and new. |

Base, M Sport, M Performance, M Base, AMG Line, AMG "Lite", AMG Base, S-Line, S, RS Look familiar? It's everyone. Hell, even Lexus has base, F Sport, and F models now. Lexus, for crying out loud. Car manufacturers adapted. If you can't accept it, then please, by all means, follow through on your threat to leave for another brand that does exactly the same things BMW does, go clog up their forums with non-stop whining that the cars from yesteryear you have nostalgia-tainted, rose colored memories of are so much better than the ones today. |

E30 was designed to be cool and drive like a race car. The F80 is a luxury appliance with M marketing. Doesn't even have a race engine in it, which is the whole point of the M badge when it launched. F80 is designed to sell to people who wouldn't normally buy a Sports car without offending The BMW faithful to the point of leaving. |

Idk who shills for a corporation blindly. Bottom line is F series mostly suck, BMW wants to sell as many cars as possible and that means Lexus style has made its way into BMWs philosophy on design and dynamics's. Mass market customers want to know why their $130k M5 is bumpy and the engine is loud so BMW gave them smooth spacious quiet cruisers. This isn't even a debate. Idk why these two guys are upset nobody will pretend this didn't true and praise BMW for making cars they aren't. |

Not only customer expectations but government legislation are giving us the cars we have today. No one, except Internet forum keyboard warriors perhaps, would buy one. People today want comfortable safe cruisers, not crude feeling go karts that let them know about every imperfection on the road...

As I said earlier. BMW, which is following the other German brands, is catering to mommies and grandpas. Sure it sells cars. Shitty ones. |

My boys grew up while riding in the back of R53 MINI Cooper S hatchbacks. No SUVs or Minivans for me.

Also M division should not make normal driving cars. They should be making low volume go kart cars to be a halo for BMW. Msport should be the mass produced sporty car and regular BMWs should be the comfy sporty car. currently BMW has it wrong by mass producing M cars as it dilutes the specialness of an M car. I don't know about you but where I am M cars are almost as common as regular BMWs. E30 BMW should be the essence of BMW. I was lucky enough to drive a friend's e30 and it was definitely an experience. It was literally like driving a go kart. Yes it was bumpy but so worth it. literally on rails. |
