TASTELESS & UGLY! i have a 2003 M3 convertible, i hesitated to mod it because i thought bmw would come up with an even more impressive M3 in 2006. I had always worried abotu resale value though, however now i have just realized i'll probably be keeping my current e46 m3 forever (as the new ones are literally tasteless and disgusting, what a disappointment).
I feel really let down by BMW, they are so retarded that they can't tell a tasteless design to a superior one. This is just stupid, if i wanted the 5 or 6 series look, i would have brought one, no need to turn the M3's into those tasteless cars.
You might say its a subjective matter, but there is a limit to subjectivity - BMW now officially sucks &%* in my opinion! Lost respect, that they could depart from such an award wining design to a random piece of thoghtless trash!
Excuse my bold claims, but (imho) no BMW design will ever beat the M3 e46, looks like its teh end of the road now. whoever is doing the latest design should be shot in the head. i think they'll realize this after mass producing a ridiculous amount and realizing that no one wants em! i hope (and am pretty sure they will) have dismal sales.
Enginering and apperance must be on par, when they are out of balance or either is missing, the car becomes a sad waste. It's like a female who is very intelligence & vibrant - perfect in every way, except apperance wise, it just aint gonna happen, is it?
as much of a bmw enthusiast as i was, i think it's time to move over to merc's or porsche (lets see what they come out with), and maybe if income permits in the next few years, a lamborghini wouldn't go amiss
