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 [:D]

You guys let me know when you're done with your BMW's, I'll find nice homes for them. The post above is about the 5th or 6th "My model BMW is the best, and they can't top it" I've seen just in this thread.. (From folks with 10 posts or less.. OOooo we value your opinion!)

Anyhow, BMW's sales continue to climb - what's ugly to one, looks great to another. Move to MB or what have you, someone else will move up from a lesser car to the 'BMW they've always wanted', believe me.. That's just natural selection at work, even with something like cars.. No one's gonna hate you for that decision here, certainly.

I think i've said it 4 or 5 times now, I don't think ANY of us can make a qualified judgement about the new 3/4 series until it's actually in a dealership, and we can look at it firsthand and drive it. Till then, you're pissing in the wind, and sounding like a pack of high school girls "oh, that looks like, just so ugly, they can't beat mine, they sux! I'm selling my car immediately and buying X car that costs oodles more cause I can!"

A 'yay' or 'nay' on the (most likely) p'shopped images, or the covered up spy photos flying around, is about all any of us should be tossing out. Saying your abandoning the entire manufacturer based on pre-release (P'SHOPPED!) pics doesn't speak much for your reasoning abilities.. (What the heck am I saying?? Just go buy your auto MB or whatever....) [:D]

Well said. I agree with that because when I first saw all the pictures of the new 5er I wasn't too pleased. It wasn't until I saw it at the dealership and test drove it that I fell in love with the car. Not to mention, in person it looks stunning.

ok, i just read through the whole thread, and now i have a differing opinion that i did on page 2. I think the new 3 has some potential. i'm growing accustumed to the new bimmers, and they drive nice. i think they will tone down the bangle on the three, and then once the new m3 comes out most of us will go nuts with glee. i'm not saying i fully support the pictures from page 1, they have a ways to go, but i think that the new 3 will probably be pretty nice. just look how the M5 is going to turn out.

just my two cents.

LOL, mrferg. I literally fell off my couch laughing at those "mods." So funny!!!!

lifewithbmw...you might have a mod proclivity. It's the equivalent in cars of girls who wear too much make up and jewelry.

BMW's design direction (under an American) has gone wierd wacky wrong as nearly every automotive critic acknowledges. At most we can 'tolerate' the new design...purchase them 'despite' the design.

I pray that photoshop pic looks nothing like the new 3. BMW will difinitely not move the repeater signals to the outside rearview mirrors.
