Definitely. I’m looking forward to seeing what options are introduced for the LCI.

A 3 to 4 year wait....?? Good enough now not to leave it that long imo, why waste your life waiting, hardly horrible colours surely...?

Not that special as a £47,000 car tho..

Wouldn’t you like to try the full fat car Maniac, make the most of that chassis..?

Currently, M4 ‘vert is going for less brand new...

I know it's not me being a dick, there are pics all over the web today of the latest 3 series., it's stunning & you just can't say that about the latest Z. The headlight design & positioning is woeful by comparison

But how much power do you want..? Mid 4’s to 60 with the mid range acceleration times it’s got make it a quick car...smaller than an M4, very comfy...

Each to their own though...

You can say it Andy....look at one in the flesh then tell me it’s as bad as you think in the pics. Even if you still do drive one, you can’t see the front from inside the cabin....

Now why didnt they try to design that front end into the new Z

One thing I find odd about the new generation of BMWs is the grills are blocked... they're just cosmetic. they're not vented like previous generations.

They open up when you accelerate, it's for aerodynamics

Also test drove the M40i today. What a car! However, despite saying for some time my next car will be an auto, once I climbed back into the manual Coupe for the short trip back home I fell in love with my car all over again

Ah right. I wondered if that was the case. Can't see from inside the car though, so couldn't be sure.

Am i the only one that thinks the new 3 series is also painfully ugly?
