New Bavarian bad boy, Mustang competitor M235i
Anyone heard about this thing yet? Its the same size as 3 gens ago M3 the E36, gets almost 30 mpg with the 8 speed auto, 0to60 in 4.8 stock, 322 hp at 3200 lbs... oh and wait... 44k! its not on the most affordable millionaire list of cars!
Going to be a bad ass little car, oh and it doesnt look like a box like the 1 series did... one of the best looking cars they make besides the 6 figure M5/6s.

Kinda cool I guess. Not something I'd spend $44k on. But competition is good for everyone cuz it makes the factories step up performance. Everyone wins!

Yea, ita not super fast but its the full driving experience. Ive always been into the way German cars ride, handle, and drive... lot different than US cars and opposite end of spectrum to Asian made cars.

And will probably be just as expensive to fix.
I'm sure this will be nice for those people that hate the fact the 3 series has continously gained weight and evolved into the 4 series now.

It's ugly.
As typical for BMW, you are better saving your money until you can get a 4/5/6/7 series.

I like BMW's a lot, but I rather drive my 28 year old volvo with 300k than an affordable three or four year old BMW out of warranty. Talk about maintenance nightmare.

I'm not really a German car kinda guy, much less Bimmers but, the M4 is going to kick ass. All Bimmers are overpriced IMO. If money were no object, the only German car I would subscribe to would be Porsche.
