As nice as it looks I think that I would just hold out and pay the extra money for the M3

With decent options, it's still a mid 30s car. Very disappointing.

It's about the price the old E46 330Ci was. As for the new M3 comparison, it's still 30 grand cheaper...not exactly chump change.

I don't get this car. It weighs about the same as a 3 series. Maybe 300lb lighter. Looks like a Hyundai and a 3 series lovechild.

You got Bangleloid to thank for that. It is pretty fucking ugly, especially from the side.

Bangle, that flamer.. sigh. I think the previous gen 5 series is the best looking BMW in a long time.

I thought Bangle wasn't the design lead any more. This car is way too expensive, it is essentially a subcompact car with a big engine and topping out in the high $40s? It isn't even good looking by any stretch of the imagination, even on the BMW forums they bash the looks of it.

Yeah, I love the previous gen 7. It was the car from The Transporter and I think Bond drove one when he was driving bimmers.

Yeah, Tomorrow Never Dies. If you want to see some nice 7 series driving, check out the BMW short film series The Hire.

I always liked the old 8-series from the 90's - they are pretty much non-existent where I live but when I was in SoCal last year I saw them all over Newport and Laguna Beach

I'm confused. You get less performance and luxury at the same price as a 3 Series? What's the point?

I see now that it is faster with a 300 hp engine.

I've been on the lookout for one of these. It's hard to find one around here with the SWB.

I knew BMW would do this but $50k is quiet steep for a car of that size. I know BMW wants to keep the premium brand image but I would rather they drop the turbo and only have three packages; base, sport, and luxury with maxed out price point of $40k.
