Hm....

The new BMW Coupe was officially announced sometime in the last 48 hours, and you know, it’s not too bad. Not great, not the comfortable e46 body design, but honestly... with the engine that’s supposedly going in this thing, the looks are fine. I’m dying to see the M3 later this year.

I didn't know you could buy a BMW from an IKEA catalog!

Yes, you can, and the trees come with it.
Not pictured but included in the "package deal" is a sensual young man to wash and wax the car.

Heh heh. He's the 'package deal'.

Oh man, the twin turbo? :D

My father is looking into getting a Mercedes SLK280, replacing his 20 year old BMW 3 series convertible. I thought of you.

Frig that Merc is sexy as hell. LOVE those little buggers. :D
That Bimmer is a classic!

And yeah, the twin turbo... MMmmmm.
Also, though... 8cyl M3, 400+hp? Boing!

I actually like the styling direction that BMW has been taking. It works wonders on the front end, but the rear ends of the cars are still a bit...odd. My bets are that the M3 will have some kind of all-awesome V8 ala M3-GTR, though I highly doubt we'll be getting a flat-crank V8 in a BMW anytime soon.

Hopefully there won't be any major reliability problems with the new twin turbo motor. Hell, I hope the motor makes it to the US!

Oh. And uhh. E30s are hot. And join motor_furs. :3

It took me a while to enjoy the front end on the new e90s. There's just a lot to get used to after dealing with the e46 for so long, but I'm learning to love it ( ... )
