I'm really curious why so many folks on here are so eager to defend BMW? My thinking (and I suspect a few auto journalists like Sutcliffe's thinking) is that the less enthusiam we show and the less we settle for the changes BMW is imposing on us, the more likely BMW will build a better car (competition version can't come soon enough). Today more so than ever consumers can shape the direction of a brand.
And let's not use regulations and emissions as a scapegoat because every other OEM has to play by the same rules and in fact the true measure is how OEMs adapt to the new rules while still keeping its core DNA.
Nobody is saying BMW didn't build a great car, what some are questioning is did they build the best car they could build? Still inconclusive of course. |

Critism keeps them honest and on top of their game. Don't want them making cars no one likes and loosing their core customer or their fabric a la like GM/Chrysler.
Can I add...
1st head to head review! I'll pick the M4 over that C63 anyday. He probably has a point about the engine and the sound though...which is inherent to turbocharging(Not even the 911 is immune) And will be the same criticism with the new C63 turbo. Bring on the competition package. It will be damn near perfect.
Wish list '15 M3 ZCP comp package ~ retuned engine = 444 HP 424 lbs touque moved up 500rpms range higher. +300 rpm redline. Retuned stearing and MPE. $1000 w/ the silly exec package. Lol wishful thing.
Wishful thinking but deff a 10/10.
