Dear BMW,

You suck. You're really driving me nuts. First you hook me with your E46 M3; second you cursed me with a discovered appreciation for the refinement one only sees in a BMW, yet having to pay higher prices for it for the rest of my friggin life; third even though you break every now and again you take some of the bite off by rolling out the red cappucino carpet when I come in for service; and fourth you put me in world of stop-light flirting, valet not wanting a tip because they like the car so much, state that has just been the icing on the cake.

If I didn't hate you enough for destroying the way I look at cars for the rest of my life, you've made it even worse lately. When you showed me pictures of the new M Coupe with the S54 motor I almost sold my M3 and placed an order on one. And now you're stressing me out again with your 300hp/300trq Twin Turbo V6 335i Coupe. You're such a dick - now all I can think about is the BMW luxury/refinement coupled with your new turbo motor that I'm sure will be capable of above 500 hp (with the right modifications).

If this car is everything we're all hoping it will be, then you're going to give me a stress stroke trying to figure out how to equip, interior color it, and paint it because you offer some great options.

BMW - you're a bitch.

From one of your happiest customers

 

First non-deisel turbo in 20 years. They had decided to go with the twin-turbo to keep the lag to a minimum.

 

Alex the new M coupe looks so much better in person BTW had a new black M5 behind me this morning, too bad the driver was a jerk.

 

Yeah - the M Coupe is the only way to get it. I'm not too much of a fan of the Z4 Coupe because the lines look weird between the smoothness of the front and all the Bangle line in the rear.

If I spent $90,000+ on an M5 and some puny S2000 was in my way I'd be all over your ass too ......just kidding. BMW owners are either cool or straight pricks - they're really isn't much in between,

 

hey now don't forget where you came from

 

 

I remember - and I'm still not there yet.....not on the $90,000 car scale. If I had that kind of money to put in a car, I wouldn't get the M5 though.

 

"What's the difference between BMWs and porcupines?"

"The porcupines pricks are on the outside"

 

So this new 335i is a definite go? Is it being released in 2007? I haven't heard a thing about it. Wow... that sounds even more enticing than the current M3. I wonder how it will be priced compared to what is currently available.... and even more, I wonder what the M version of this car is going to have!

N/M I answered my own question. Looks like the 400hp V8 is definitely a go for the 2008 M3. Wow! If what I've read is true though, seems like 300hp/300tq 335i is going to be nicely priced in the mid $40K range. That's causing me to rethink my decision to hold out for the Cayman.

 

That's why you'll never be able to roll w/ Vlad.
