Ok so I will first say I am a bit biased towards bmw since I have only owned bmw's (two e34s and now my e39). So with that out of the way, I will clear something up. There will be no more m3 coupe's. There will be 3 series coupe's I believe, just not from the ///M division. I do think this M4 looks really good, and will probably drive just fine. But I, like a majority of fellow BMW friends of mine (and many more across the world) that the direction BMW has taken isnt the greatest. But all manufacturers seem to be doing the same. Too many computers, too many gadgets. All taking away from the original feel of the ultimate driving machine. I myself prefer the older, classic designs, like the e21, e30, e34, e31. But I guess even cars have to grow up.
One other thing I have to talk about is all the talk about comparing cars. BMW vs. whatever, or any other comparison. Sure, you can go buy a new Kia that has many, if not all of the same features as the new 5 series bimmer. Yes its a nice car, yes its brand spanking new, yes its a good looking car. But until we see how long they last, a true comparison isnt fair. Its proven that BMW's, Merc's, and most higher end cars simply hold up better over time. And it doesnt have to be strictly european. A cadillac will hold up better over a saturn, and thats all GM. Its a testament that better quality and build obviously works better for longer. Also, theres a lot of people on here that seem to be brand loyal. So all the hate just doesnt make sense to me. We will all drive what we want, build it however we want. Who cares about the price, its just a number. If one decides to spend 60k for a car when they can get a comparable one for much less, that should only be a concern for the one forking out the dough
