With turbocharging, who needs an M badge? Nice rims but your neighbor might think it is a 335i sedan.

It doesn't look anything like a 3. Look at the brake lights and the overall shape. The new 5 looks fantastic I can't wait to see the M5.

the brake lights look almost identical, have you even seen the current 3-series? the only thing that might set it apart is that the tail lamps on this are slanted inward a bit but that is a detail only car guys will pick up on. your average customer is going to have a hard time distinguishing. it is definitely not as close a resemblance as say . . . the entire audi lineup however.

nice... but, with the the new 5... its missing something from the old 5...
somethin sharp! all around its cool!

It would be nice to one of these tuners focus on weight and suspension. All the fun is in the corners. A trained chimp can mash the accelerator. I guess racing between traffic lights is what sells cars these days.

racing dynamics. they disappeared for a long while. (i have higher hopes from the other german tuners.)
sure. 620hp sounds very nice. is the stock gear box going to hold up to that?

The new auto transmission probably not, especially with a locking rear diff. I cant see it lasting too many 0-100 dashes full out.

Nice matt black color, but those are huge rims, you can't see the tyres

Beautiful car...but when are you going Serial Hybrid or Plug In-Hybrid BMW?
You can get better figures with a Large Electric Motor, more Torque and More Horsepower...less pollution.
I think its time that you guys in BMW put a very efficient small Turbine engine to Generate power for a Serial Hybrid Powertrain. Do it now, or Merc is gonna eat you alive.

I never see tuner cars that I think look as good as the factory versions. They always look so overdone and cheesy. I think of all those Lorinser and Brabus Mercedes, or Kelleners and AC Schnitzer BMWs - massive aftermarket wheels, and cartoon proportions. I guess when the manufacturer spends millions on its design departments, it's hard for a smaller operation to compete in terms of style or sophistication. It's a waste of money and ruins the resale value as well.
