Says the guy with the white car. Live a little

I have actually driven the New M3 and M4 spiritedly now and I would have to say I prefer the feel of the new M3 to the M4. Also, have you seen the new M3/M4 numbers around the ring?

Either way, they are cool new cars and seem to live up to the heritage.

So BMW splits the 3 series into 3 and 4 for sedan and coupe, right?

But then why did I see a goddamn 6 series with 4 doors this weekend?

Confused.

I work for BMW and I'm confused by it too. It's like we invented the sport sedan. It makes no sense. Neither does he 435 Gran Coupe or x4.

They managed to keep the weight at around 3500lbs, which is actually not terrible for such a large luxurious car.

Now if they can only get similar weight reduction for the M2, they will have a real winner on their hands.

3 series = upright 4 door 5 seater
4 series = coupe 3 series
4 series gran coupe = 4 door 4 series coupe looking 4 seater

5 series = upright 4 door 5 seater
6 series = coupe 5 series
6 series gran coupe = 4 door 6 series coupe looking 4 seater

Oh, c'mon. BMW is so easy to understand.

The 3-series are all four doors. The 4-series are all two doors so you don't get them confused with the 3-series. Except for the ones that are actually four doors instead so they're not. And then the 5-series are all four doors. And the 6-series are all two-doors so they aren't confused with the 6-series. Except for those ones that are actually four doors instead because "gran." Then you have the X-series which is all SUVs, except for the X4 and X6 which are kinda like a four door 4 or 6 series BMW slapped on the X3 or X5 so it's a truckcar.

I hear this is the next market they want to break into:

I think you're getting "the curse" confused with "terrible drivers"

A 20 year old driver in a car with 430 HP and RWD?

I'm going to have to agree with n2oinferno.
