yup. looks like the 3series coupe from that angle. maybe a little squatter in the rear end than the 3 and shorter in length overall but very similar.

the merc pictured with it below just doesnt flow well. really not attractive at all.

in my experience bm's are very well built cars.

Audi, Merc, BMW are going for the premium entry level market. Which is a growing market.
Also, if you look at the 3 series of today, it's about the size of, if not bigger the e28 5 series of the 80s.
So, the 2 series (2 door coupe version of the 1 series---BMW scheme of even #s are 2 doors) is what the 3 series coupe was of the early 2000s (think e46 330Ci).

What really is mind blowing is their new "urban" hybrid vehicle, the i3, will cost about 40k...
And this is supposed to be for the cities.

Entry level, just a bunch of 20 something turds thinking they have money. Only their generation will think it's a nice car. By the time it's three years old its crap. Save and get a five series at least.

That's a good car.

For what it's worth, the best drive I've had out of any car (be it the Audi Quatro, BMW 5 series, Mercedez etc.) has been the Lexus (Regardless of model). I don't know what it is about their vehicles, but they certainly made a perfectly smooth ride.

Well on the BMW side, they  bought a US carbon fiber manufacturer, and the i3 and i8 will use carbon fiber extensively throughout their chassis and panels. Carbon fiber is still not "cheap" but the prices have gone down considerably due to streamlining manufacturing techniques.
There has been the complaint that BMWs (and all cars for that matter) have gotten too heavy. So, to offset the weight of the hybrid drive and batteries, the use of carbon fiber.

Now, the others---the cost of the hybrid drives, the batteries, all the addenda that goes with it, cost money. And the development of it. And if you leave it up to the Germans, like the Porsche 918 Spyder, they over complicate things, to the point where even the engineers seem like they will need a 2 yr course on the driveline alone.

you know what. Due to those 20 something's (and 30somethings) hipsters, the price of used e30 3 series have rocketed. And it's getting harder to find good examples. Now, celebs like Frank Ocean are popularizing the car. And the e30 M3, which is rare here in the US, can go for 35k or more.
A freaking 20 something yr old car!

Due to the fact that the millennials have little disposable income, many are going with some old used classics, like the older Volvos-240s, 740s, 850s, or even 122s. Some are going the BMw route, or the Merc route with the 300Es...
And then there are those who don't want a mid size luxury car, or luxury as well, they just want RWD

Watch these two vids when you get a chance, they talk about what I mentioned above

You know, sadly, besides being able to change a tire, I wouldn't know what to do with a car if I had to open the hood up and dabble with the inner machinery.

Yes...it's the 2 door version of the 1 series.
And in BMW's scheme, a way to charge more money.
The way their current mainstream line up is like this: odd numbers for the sedans, even numbers for coupes/4 door coupes.
The coupes will have a premium over the sedans.
So, it goes like this:
1 Series (4 door, hatch)
2 series (coupe convertible and 4 door coupe)*
3 series (4 door and GT hatch)
4 series (coupe, convertible, 4 door coupe)*
5 series (sedan, GT hatch)
6 series (coupe, convertible, 4 door coupe)*
7 series (sedan)
X5 (4 door SUV)
X6 (4 door coupe SUV)*
X3 (4 door SUV)
X4 (4 door coupe SUV)*

*= the "coupe" version  of the odd number numerically lower number.

The Chris Harris test drive of the 918 is pretty evident of your same feelings.

my dad and uncle were heavily into cars, and I wasn't really...I liked sports and nature.
It was only until my dad (who is VERY frugal) showed me how to do preventive maintenance on my car, did it really blossom. Sure, I had the buff books, as a teen, but it wasn't until I had a hoopty that I really took an interest.

It's, like bbing...I was really into it at one time, and now it wanes, so another interest slowly usurped it. Just as bbing usurp my enthusiasm for the natural world.

ignorant post. first of all what makes you think someone who's buys a 3 series can't afford a 5? not every bases a purchase on 'I better the bigger one so people think I have more money'. so much for that theory huh?

I bought a 3 series couple after driving the CLS, the Audi a4 (the a5 had just come out and I refused to pay the 8% financing they wanted), the Lexus is, and the infinity G37. my primary reason was the body style. imo it's one if the better looking cars on the road not cause I couldn't 'afford the few pennies for the 5'  ::)

secondly it's been the best car I have ever owned. I've piled 120k on it with zero problems. in fact if someone was thinking of buying a new BM is give them my car for a few days do they could see what they'd have in '3 years'- a well made car without a squeak, rattle or loose fitting or wear anywhere in the interior or exterior.

next time post something you have first hand knowledge of instead of offering an opinion on something you know nothing about. it might actually help someone make an informed decision.

i hate bmws but i like the not so new 645 and the new m-1 series.

but yeah, german cars are way (self)overrated, they got nice media coverage in own interest going, blasting evrything non german.

american ppl in particular think too highly of german cars.

theyre severly overpriced, not the most reliable, very expensive upkeep, and if something breaks theyll try to avoid guarantee work, and if its not covered, youre fucked.

every german carmakers has some very well known flaws(well the german ppl know)which are simply overlooked int he media coverage.

merc had epic failures with their suspension, the airtec, rust in an issue on many german cars, oh theres plenty.

with american cars, atleast you know theyre trash after 4years, but theyll be somewhat reliable.

Boring.  Uninspired.  Overpriced.  Overhyped. Same design as every other new vehicle out there.  People willing to pay an extra $20k extra simple because it has the BMW logo on it....and many buyers don't even know what BMW stands for.

But.......this vehicle simply reflects what most people in society are.  Boring.  Uninspired.   These people drive vehicles that match their personalities.  Lack of imagination....lack of innovation....lack of style. Why do you think the Camry and F-150 are the top sellers year in and year out?  

This BMW looks like a Camry anyway.  Yawn inducing.  Insipid.

Hell, people don't even want to wrench on their own cars anymore.  Once they reach a certain mileage on them, they just throw them out like a used refrigerator, in spite of the fact that 95% of the car is still in top shape.  Even the names of the cars nowadays resemble home appliances......125i...w hat a fucking joke.

People are so fucking.......lame.  No sense of adventure at all and risk adverse to everything.  When I take my 'Vette out, I bring a toolbox with me..and more often than not, I don't have a cellphone with me.  'Cause I don't want to have any distractions while I listen to the straight piped smallblock v8 churn out wonderful music.  This scenario would cause most Americans to break out in a cold sweat.

Had to rant.  I know I'm in a very small minority....but if you disagree with me, you're a pussy anyway :D

But.......this vehicle simply reflects what most people in society are.  Boring.  Uninspired.   These people drive vehicles that match their personalities.  Lack of imagination....lack of innovation....lack of style. Why do you think the Camry and F-150 are the top sellers year in and year out?  

This BMW looks like a Camry anyway.  Yawn inducing.  Insipid.

Hell, people don't even want to wrench on their own cars anymore.  Once they reach a certain mileage on them, they just throw them out like a used refrigerator, in spite of the fact that 95% of the car is still in top shape.  Even the names of the cars nowadays resemble home appliances......125i...w hat a fucking joke.

People are so fucking.......lame.  No sense of adventure at all and risk adverse to everything.  When I take my 'Vette out, I bring a toolbox with me..and more often than not, I don't have a cellphone with me.  'Cause I don't want to have any distractions while I listen to the straight piped smallblock v8 churn out wonderful music.  This scenario would cause most Americans to break out in a cold sweat.

Had to rant.  I know I'm in a very small minority....but if you disagree with me, you're a pussy anyway :D


100% agree.   BMW = extremely boring cars these days.  Blend in with everything else on the road.

im sure a chef says the same exact thing about you as you down your chicken and broccoli for the fourth time today

or a computer nerd when you buy a dell off the shelf

or a fashion freak when you're happy to throw on some levis and a t-shirt

i don't get car enthusiasts... they have to obey the speed limit or risk getting ticketed, just like everyone else.  they have to sit in traffic, just like everyone else.  do you guys routinely go racing around on deserted streets, or what?  why pretend like you're "standing out" with your cool car, when in fact you're using it to do the exact same thing as everyone else? ??? at least the people who buy them to show off their wealth are, in fact, standing out in exactly the way they want to.

from my point of view, you seem little different than gun freaks.  people who obsess over every little detail, spend hours customizing and configuring their guns, rant and rave on message boards about why metal-tube-with-a-firing-pin A is better than metal-tube-with-a-firing-pin B, the value of ammunition... and then, they use them to shoot little paper bulls-eyes from 50 feet away... what a thrill-ride ::)

If Parker put 1/10 the amount of time into women he puts into cars he'd have an entire harem at his disposal.
He'd be the QuickerBlade of the east coast.

You ever thought cars might part of Parker's getbig persona like QuickBlade's harem of women.

Looks like a Japanese car, other than that grill.

This....BMW lost the plot about 5 years ago, styling wise.

Ford makes better looking cars than BMW these days.

No way, the Fusion is better than the 5 Series.

We are comparing a mid 30K car to a 60K car....it should make it look like a shitbox and it doesn't. I just googled images of both and for the money the Ford kills it...I like it better period based on looks, much cleaner, crisper lines. BMWs have gotten too rounded off and busy IMO.

???

"crisp"ness of lines in a car?

i see what you're saying as far as "for being twice the price, the 5 series doesn't really look that much better", but that's about it.

i never liked bmw either, though.  as far as i'm concerned, they've always been bland.  then again, you only have so much leeway to work with, considering you're going to be driving these things down the same freeways as everyone else, thus any crazy design is going to make you stand out way too much.

just more proof luxury cars are pretty much a joke.  it's like buying a new suit, but there is no dorsia... only mcdonalds.

all the real "luxuries" can be had in much cheaper cars anyway.  my friend drives a 2009 camery hybrid... nice leather seats, heating options out the ass, the same GPS you'd find in any lexus model, automated everything, a feature list a mile long.

i just may be the most romantic guy here on this site, although the majority of my lyrics are not my own ;D ;D ;D

i'm curious dp, did you grow up in a macho environment?

If the lyrics under your Avatar are yours....you just might define cliched.

not mine, they were penned by a canadian fella called Dave Richardson



and here's one of the best love songs ever IMO

"Romance and all its strategy leaves me battlin' with my pride
But through the insecurity some tenderness survives"

pure honesty right there :)

A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.




The men who love you

You hate the most

They  pass right through you

Like a ghost

My love...youre so cruel.

well, quite honestly (and i hate to fucking say this >:() these "romantic love songs" are rather fairy tales

yeah women like some softness and tenderness sometimes, but they also want a man that they can depend upon and who will provide for them and give them what they need (ie. security and faithfullness, and not just sweet romance)

Yup. You don't have to be rich, that's a rationalization. "i can't get the hot chicks cuz I'm not loaded"...maybe youre just a prick.

Heres two tips for you. Women dont like sappy, spineless men who talk about love constantly. Its,gay.

When you meet a woman talk to them like you already know them, and have every right to be conversing with them.

I agree with you. The styling on BMW is bland and just another box car. A Camry has equal box car looks and if you change the oil you will get 200k out of it with little trouble. Can that be said for a BMW? Corvettes are one of the American dream cars.

who knows man, i guess that i'm just a competitive guy ;D

btw, it's going quite well with my lady friend, so i must be getting better somehow :)

but yeah, she is a VERY UNDERSTANDING female so i'm very lucky in that regard, coz even my own mother said to me... "dj, if you said to me some of the things you say to your grirlfriends, i'd walk right out the door and never come back" lol

Being a competitive person and classifying other things/people are two different things.
Your mother seems someone with decent values, so pay attention to what she says.

i'm trying dude, really i am

but i'm a bit of an emotional guy so it's real hard to control myself sometimes and i say such stupid fucking shit to the women i like (just like a true dumbfuck) ??? :-X >:( :(

i've also got a very good female friend that i've known for awhile now, and she is also a good influence on me as she kinda knows how to keep me in line, so i guess that i'm kind of a lucky guy :)
