yup...the m3 sure isnt what it used to be...i thought about buying one, but looks like i wont be.

memorable quotes:

"it's steering is feel-less..."

"(it is a) blunt instrument"

"...(it) isn't the sharpest tool"

 

Are you surprised?

 

So a couple of lines from a car magazine are going to keep you from buying a car?

 

im suprised the r8 won...but about the m3, not at all! bmw dumbed it down and people paying 70K plus whatever markup bmw charges (10K, 15K) are gonna be the ones who will be kicking themselves and wishing they kept their e46 m3 because it was and is the better car still.

 

no...i ****ty POS m3 is gonna keep me from buying it...as well as other MUCH BETTER choices in that price range.

 

Nope but when most magazines agree it's numbed down and the styling is not great you get a bit disappointed without driving it. Isn't it reasonable?

 

did you watch the video diddy?

they had a conversation about how its not "as special as the e46 m3" and how it just isnt the same car anymore.

 

In situations like this, I tend to keep an open mind and drive it for myself....then decide. No magazine or someone else's opinion is going to make ANY decision for me.

Try it for yourself

 

although its grown on me...i still think it looks like **** and the interior is just an abomination. as for driving it...its gonna be compared to my e46 m3 which doesnt bode well for it considering how much time, effort, and money has gone into it to make it feel virtually perfect for me.
