We're all just E30 M3 nutswingers

Different strokes man. That's why I should stay out of these threads. My opinion will be unpopular.

Oh no please stay. The Hellcat is the prime example of their shortcomings.

"Real M Cars"

Maybe these new crossover performance models will spell the death of many a sports car since these are essentially "all-in-one" vehicles.

I'm not a fan of these at all but I understand the appeal to the American market. Americans just don't care for estates/tourings (wagons).

Nuh bra stopped after the E30 M3

Moupe · 09-12-2018, 10:24 AM

If there aren't any M Performance parts available for the E30 M3, it's not a real M.

I want my M Performance puddle lights and stick on exhaust tips mayn.

Lol, Texas doesn’t have an unusually high proportion of manual laborers compared to other states. That isn’t why they drive big cars. Texan’s love of big vehicles is purely cultural (and silly). I hate seeing all the needlessly big trucks in this state. For 99% of Texas truck owners the utility of a big truck is not exploited on a recurring basis.

Haha yeah I really meant the south (country states) have big trucks since there is more room to accommodate larger vehicles.

Idk about 99% lol but I agree it's cultural.

On past XMs I feel the body panel changes have been a bit limited.

Is it just me or does anyone else want more flared wheel arches rather than a bit of plastic trim on the out wheel arch that extends jt to meet some legal needs.

I'm sure these will be great cars, I'm a big fan of the X but could we get some more aggressive styling please BMW?

That's NOT true Americans specially this New Yorker grew up with 70s Volkswagens Wagons and 80s Volvo Wagons. They kicked ass! Unfortunately they don't make SEXY High-Performance Wagons anymore. Audi does but that's about it.

The "All-In-One" Hybrid Concept makes total senes! Especially if you only CAN afford and just want to own ONE vehicle.

If BMW made an M3 Sportswagon with M xDrive, or exactly what I want and M4 with M xDrive. But neither of those have happened yet to my chagrin.

Actor, Race Car Driver and non-for profit Entrepreneur Paul Newman for his daily driver had a sleeper 1995 Volvo 960 Station Wagon that he put the a V8 engine is so he could smoke people.

Now that I'm not on my phone and on the computer now I'm able to get some better clarity.

The Rear Tire Size has been sanded off.

That's exactly why when the guard changed, we started to see those wagons as lame like our parents. We grew up with them and we were never associated anything cool with them. I'm all for the SUV - car choice. Forget the inbetweens.

I was able to make out the Rear Tire Size on the X3 M / X4 M.
