I think so... after I see the rims and my mind connects that it is an M car.
The M6... nothing to compare it against... maybe that's why it's a bit more successful. No previous M6 to compare it to. Anyway... I do love the new M3... and I'm praying after break-in that some numbers and reviews will help lift the spirits. But aren't all cars losing their souls?  |
they are, i noticed the change from also owning a 2004 and 2005 MINI Cooper S both stick and auto. The new Mini Cooper S is missing its soul also. I feel like BMW is D diluting the brand and going more for comfort. I can imagine the next Gen cars. I guess "The Ultimate Driving Machine" is headed towards "The Ultimate Comfort Machine" Even the E46 3 series (330) compared to the E90 330 was a change for me and It took some time to get used to.
