Anyway I like(d) it better when the displacement match(ed) those last two digits. -Russ. > > Look what I found, someone posted the lastest articles on the new 3 > > Series...hot off the newstand!

Your threat would have more weight if you were threatening to break into my house and synchronize all the clocks... Invite him in when the clocks go forward. That's save you a pain-in-the-rear job.

Only Stateside. The rest of us actually get a 2.5 litre engine with (wait for it) practically identical power and torque figures. Why? Answers on a postcard, please :) > Look what I found, someone posted the lastest articles on the new 3 > Series...hot off the newstand! > > 'Motor Trend' (http://club3series.com/forums/showthread.php?t=689) > 'Automobile' (http://club3series.com/forums/showthread.php?t=690) Thanks, but no thanks. It's great to be see these reviews, but now I can say without reservation that I hate *all* of BMW's designs. *MAN*, is that frustrating. Does anybody else think these new BMW designs will ever be seen as classics? Or will they be widely recognized as kowtowing to ephemeral fashion, and so, lose their resale value much faster than the BMWs of the past? IMHO, BMW's current crop of cars are much poorer values than their progenitors, whether today or tomorrow. It seems to me that the only folks who would want BMWs like these (Ugly, numb steering, soft suspension, less reliable, lower resale) will the gold chain crowd. :-( Is anybody aware of other car builders who are still 'keepers of the flame'? Other than Porsche? Randy |
