How are they gonna pay for the increasing fees of producing great vids? Plus, flights, locales, etc?
It ain't coming from YouTube? Plus, Evo, Motortrend, 5th Gear, have mags to offset the costs. And Xcar is owned by Fox.
$3.99 a month for more content, hmmm.

So much fun
-
Drove an m4 the other day with dct transmission , best m3/m4 by far, better than e46 with comp package and e90's..
People always talk about steering but really none of the m3's were known for it besides maybe e30 and e46
E36 and e90 have subpar steering and I hate the e90 "light" feel , direct but no road feel at all

Why would someone pay to watch other men drive cars? ???

Good question. Why pay for a magazine to read about and look at pictures of other people driving cars?
Wait until we get to the "Why pay to watch someone who is paid to drive other people's cars?"

Are you implying my online grocery store and trailer-park personal training studio aren't lucrative ventures?
But yeah, instead I'm getting the wife a 35i X1, because practical

Parker, last week I ordered a 2015 435i convertible with the M sport package. Car is pretty incredible. With the M sport package, electronic page with heads up display, 19" wheels, black on black and a few other options I was able to come in just under $64k. What is your opinion on the new 4 series?

Should have gotten a Corvette or a ZL1 Camaro.

I wanted a car that rode like a dream. I have had 5 major back surgeries and have been driving Mustangs the last 5 years. I drove the new stingray and didn't care for it. Besides, the resale on the BMW is better.

You don`t buy a new car to resell it a few years later. Thats just silly.
You want a car that rides like a dream, 1967 Cadillac Convertible Deville and when you go to sell it, you will make money, not lose.

Who said a few years?? You are right about the ride of those old caddy's. Even back the it was like riding on a cloud. My dad owned several Cadillacs. From 60's to 90's when he passed away.he had a Mercury Marquis Brougham that was badass and rode unbelievable.

You can't go wrong with any M car.

I don't think BMW can top the look of the E46 model cars.
I owned a 2000 3-series, and that look will stand the test of time.
Just look at the beauty:

ZL1 is a great car, if you like heat soak.

The new Camaros and Mustangs are bleh (dime a dozen)
The new Corvettes are a thing of beauty. The Iconic symbol of American muscle.
This is my ride: 2012 Challenger RT

Yes u are correct I am not a fan of turbo cars :D
But for the direction bmw is going the m3/m4 is a very potent engine, obviously lots of torque down low and there really is no need to push the car pass 5500/6k rpm as all the power is already available before the 7+ rpm redline unlike the old NA type cars
Didn't feel any turbo lag, sounds ok but of course there's those speakers in the car (active sound?)
For what it is I actually like the motor, don't know how long term reliability will be but we shall see

You could have had the real thing optioned out for ten k more , why not go for the m4 if your paying that much? (Coupe not convertible)

Here's my opinion on the 4 series since I've gotten behind the wheel of an M4. Good car but bmw should have kept it a 3 series. Changed the name just to charge more
If it was my money I would go for the 4 door M3

I was only going to spend $50k tops when I started looking. I went 10 above that, I wasn't going another 10. Got to stop somewhere. Besides, I am real happy with what I ordered. I wanted a convertible that had a great ride to it and still had some power. It is a hard drop top.
-
435 is a very nice car, I'd think of getting a bare bones gran coupe to replace the z4 if it dies.
High 4's 0-60 and great handling, I just wouldn't option it out but I'm a cheapskate. M package, hk stereo and fake leather and I'm happy :)
Wish they sold the 335i wagon here but Americans are retards when it cones to euro cars.

64k for a 4 series? That's crazy!

Try comparing apples to apples. Your M3 coupe above base is $62k the 435i coupe base is $45,800.

Your right Einstein. I got a convertible, hard drop top, add 10k for that. I got the technology package with GPS and heads up display. I also wanted a 2 door. You were comparing a coupe to a hard drop top convertible. This is why they make more than 1 model because everyone has different tastes. I think the M3 is not very appealing in looks. IMO the 435i as I have built it looks a hell of a lot better and still runs good. Not like I have anywhere around me where I can run 200mph.

True looks are subjective but funny with this generation most of the enthusiasts are jumping for the m3 instead of the m4, body on the m3 is looks more aggressive, rear fenders look mean compared to the big bubble rear end of the 4
4 series should have stayed a 3!
Fucking bmw copying the Audi a5 designation and charging more
-
Looks good, although i don't like the front that much... My M3 E46 is still the top in terms of driving, aesthetic and engine, (CSL even better) but i haven't tried one of these new models still...
-
Aaaaah - no room for 2 kids and half of Ikea in the back - will give it a miss
-
I have a E46 M3 and love it.
Its got that pitbull stance especially dropped on coils give it an aggressive appearance
-
64k for a 4 series? That's crazy!
That's cheap....
Out here a 420i Coupe M Sport will cost you $115k
The 420d Convertible M Sport will cost you $140k
You guys in the US are completely spoilt...

I like the X6 - that pic doesn't do them justice.
The X3 is a ugly but the X1 looks OK with the recent revamp giving it more of a bubble butt.
I think the 3 and 5 series are both decent looking cars too - but from the back, I think the 5 is one of the nicest...

The next gen, FWD X1 (aimed at retired rich old folks) is everything wrong about todays BMW but the current 35i X1 is a great little car. Hydraulic steering and the cheapest way to get an N55 without a load of fluff.
I'm getting the missus a M-Package 35i for a hair over 40k which is an ok deal for a 4 year warranty imo.
I do wish they would have given it the new F30 gen facelift they gave the other models, but whatever.
gym**rat did you think about ther 235i M package? Same power, lighter and funner to drive if you're after basically a roadster

Why would you ever wanna drive an M3 when you could drive a 6 ????
Makes no sense, the 3's for 20 year old gangsta wannabe's listening to Jay Z for fucks sake.
Zero class, Meh ::)

Just saw a goose crap yellow (aka throw up yellow) e46 M3 with "that" vented hood and aftermarket CSL style wheels. It was tastefully done.
I have to go test drive the new M3/M4. Tell me, did you notice the engine note being piped in through the stereo? And how was the torque? And if you were going to get one, what would your set up be?
