The new 3er, thank F*** they've......

Ditched the stupid "doesn't quite get to the front of the car" bonnet adopted by the previous generation!
Why they did the stupid Merc led idea of having a short bonnet and then a slam panel above the grill i'll never know! Looked awkward because it's impossible to hide the panel gap between bonnet and panel, makes the bonnet look short and stunted, and ruins the "eyes under lids" effect that BMW bonnets and lights have managed so well for many years. So, thank F*** the new ones back to having a proper bonnet and no stupid slam panel....... !!
(what other styling "tweeks" annoy you??? (and no, you can't include "the entire Toyota C-HR" ;-) )

t but seriously someone signed that grill off. When the french are designing better looking cars you know BMW are just going through motions as buyers don't care.

Its hardly surprising you would say that but I think I would be inclined to go with the popular vote and agree its vulgar and also think this Subaru looks better from the front (and back) than a poxy BMW derv but maybe thats just me, its also faster you loser.
How are the sales going?
Sales are wonderful thanks. Between leases I may pick a chav chariot spec B for a grand to use. How are the sales going?
Could be a bit of a culture shock though, do they have an FM radio?

I had an F30 in SE spec for the day a few weeks ago and was horrified by how it drove. I wrote a full review, but haven't posted it because I know it'll be controversial. I do hope the new car drives better!
The new one with the M-Sport bits and bobs was quite impressive. Mind you, that’s stepping out of an Audi A4

BMW seem to have a knack for getting one of the suspension setups to work well and the other to be completely dire on each model; it seems pretty random which is which though. 
Agree with that, the older M-Sport package which l tried just made things uncomfortable. People will always like to slate the new ‘anything’ BMW but it is a decent drive for a modern car. I also liked the new interior and dash layout. Size wise it looks to have grown but not so much. Good tool for the job. And it annoys the hell out of the usual suspects, what’s not to like

The design of new BMWs was looking up but its drastically gone off the rails with the huge grilles and the dodgy side emblems, thankfully the dealer network had already done enough to put make me look else where.
That’s why I keep going back. Always had good experiences with them. Very odd. Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
