The "M" brakes are nothing new though, so what's with the sudden sad face?

The badge is officially meaningless now, nevermind this has been available for years.

Do you buy an M car for the badge?
Because if a 316i has a tacky ebay M badge on it (as funny as it is), it still won't change what an M car beneath the skin is.
Which is what you pay for I assume, but if the badge is the center point for you I guess... alright.

It's too bad that BMW did away with the corona rings.

Grey is the worst color, I don't know why people get it. None of the sophistication of black and none of the sportiness/youthfulness of white. White is an easy color to keep clean too. Maybe it's because I spend so much time in the gloomy Northwest but grey on a car just depresses me.

With that being said, I find that Nardo/Fashion/Dravit Greys to be somewhat attractive due to their flat/non-metallic finish. But if I were spending $$ for some Individual color I'd get something more flashy for sure!

2 reasons to pay for individual

1- it's such a cool color.. and BMW doesn't make it

2- it's such a drab color.. and BMW won't make it...

agree with you.. this one is definitely " number 2" ...

Transfer · 02-15-2019, 03:12 PM

That's hot. Wouldn't pay extra for it though.

Dear lord... youthfulness of white?? really? White is like the defacto old man color.

Reminds me of when my dad purchased his first BMW...a loaded E90 328xi at the age of 45. He was a penniless immigrant in his 20s who scrubbed dishes and assisted the university janitor to survive on some Ramen and McDonalds. His PhD professor let him borrow his car to go to job interviews. After many rejections due to his Visa status, one small engineering firm sponsored him and things went up from there. It may have just been a 328xi, but it was a decades of work and hardship to purchase that!

I actually usually agree with this... but perhaps it's because they have been stolen by a bunch of American cars..

Camaro- " Cat eyes"
Challenger

I do agree white is sporty but the fact that so many cars are a flat,non metallic white out there it kinda loses interest to me. Same with silver, I had 2 silver cars and decided to go blue on black instead of silver on red for my 340i

tizzyd · 02-15-2019, 03:39 PM

All the hate on Dravit Grey....I kinda dig it. Kinda looks like Grigio Telesto or Grey Black from some angles. Am I crazy?

Doesn't look like merino. And it should be called orange leather. Cause it is orange.

My thoughts exactly, but I'm curious what they'll do in the back for the G80, not sure it'll have the same stance as the F80

tonymac1 · 02-15-2019, 03:47 PM

Still not a big fan of the new angel eye design, too plain and not very distinctive

pmaguran · 02-15-2019, 04:12 PM

I didn't realize the 330 would have dual exhaust, as that has always been the distinguishing feature of the 335/340.

They have actual product presentations that includes the complete car for an invited audience at this dealership.

That does look good.

LeMans E90 · 02-15-2019, 05:54 PM

Really cant wait to see a nice trunk lip or something to see if it improves the rear.

They pretty much nailed everything else.
