Sticky!
Someone spent a hell of a long time looking for all of the press releases, well done!

:thumsup::thumsup::clap::clap:
This is way to interesting to look at!
Thank you for the collections! Thumbs up! :thanks:
This is excellent! Thank you for posting these.
So cool, thanks for sharing! Will definitely save this on my harddrive!
Never realized the E92 M3 is longer than the E90 M3!! :bulge:
wow super cool! crazy how much they have grown!
would be a cool printout and framed in my garage
Great work Artemis's user avatarArtemis or today AKA dimensionsMis
From E39 to F90, the length of the car grew a total of 3.94%. During the same timespan, the growth from E46 to G80 has been 6.72%.

70% more growth in length in the 3er compared to the 5er.

Very interesting.
Nice! E30 M3 instantly recognizeable - like a great white shark! Thx for sharing in this perspective.
This is fantastic, thanks for sharing!

And as I suspected...

The badge is like a birth certificate.

Regardless of the badge, it's all about the DNA and legitimate expectations about the bloodline. :)

It is insane how big the cars have become. Nice for family outings. But the bigger the car the more boring it is to drive in cornering.

Two pertinent Colin Chapman quotes:
  • "Simplify, then add lightness."
  • "Adding power makes you faster on the straights. Subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere."
So based on this can we assume the G87 M2 dimensions should fall in between the E46 M3 and E92 M3 which will be perfect!
Very good made.

But there is missing one car BMW 2002 turbo which was first car made by M division.
