As another member posted recently, I agree that we've all become very spoiled by cars these days. Every generation delivers better performance numbers than the previous generation. Heck, even a run of the mill F30 328i can give an E46 M3 a run for its money, but not win. (Yes I went there!)
Performance numbers such as 0-60, skid pad, braking, 80-120 offer hard objective comparison numbers. No one can dispute them and they do get better with each generation despite how we "feel" the car drives. An F30 320i will destroy an E46 320i in every category, without question. So what does it mean when we say an E46 feels better if the performance numbers do not collaborate the fact? How can we objectively put a number on driving feel? Just keeping the discussion going... |

Right $60g for an X3. That's better. Good luck with that.

Who is anyone to tell another member they paid too much for the vehicle they built? And all this hate for more M cars is ridiculous. The M cars are a fraction of a fraction. And the M brand is only devalued if the actual M vehicle isn't up to snuff; the latest X6M and X5M are up for awards as performance vehicles...that's a good thing. So now they are adding an M version of what is deemed a sportier version of the X3; how is this an issue? If you don't like the vehicle that's fine, but don't tell a person their choice in vehicle is bad, that's merely your opinion--and apparently quite a biased one. The M vehicles represent performance vehicles that must no only achieve straight line results but excellent lateral agility or else they don't fit the M division ethos. |

The M Division designation has always been clearly defined by BMW. Whether it be individual bits or a fully M-designated vehicle; it meets the standards and ethos BMW has laid out. You may not like it or agree with it, but it doesn't change the fact that it is what BMW says it is. Some people buy BMW for the nameplate. Others still, for the M badge. While an even smaller fraction buy it for what it represents: true performance and the best BMW has to offer. If that comes on everything from a 1 series to a 7 series, and all the X vehicles in between, it doesn't matter and doesn't dilute; it distinguishes. Everything else is someone's interpretation.
