I can appreciate the aggressiveness of the styling. (it reminds me of a shark, too) I'm sure it's going to be a great performer. I do, however, see a striking resemblance that is hard to overlook...

It's a replacement for the Z3 I think. It shouldn't cost much more, if any than a Z3.

I doubt, that's what the 3 series is for.

From what I`ve read they don`t have a coupe (hatchback) planned. The Z3 coupe wasn`t intended for production in the first place and it is a very small market.

"I doubt it, that`s what the 3 series is for." - don`t know what that means if it is in response to the hatchback question.

Yes the back end looks like a S2k but it also look slike a 360 *** end too...

BMW = translation = German over priced crap (outside of porsche but that too could be argued, Germans have been lacking in the production car market)

how can you say that a bmw is overpriced crap? what cause you dont' have the money to afford one it's overpriced? i've driven the new e46, m5, my dad owns a 750iL and i'll tell you right now, they are not overpriced. the torque on those things make driving honda's seem like the ricerockets they are. you are pretty uneducated and probably never have driven a bmw. overpriced, ok maybe if you're poor, but calling it crap is ignorant.

That car looks disgusting. It's got character lines in the body, but they don't correlate with the overall theme of the car. It looks like one of those shoddy after-market body-kits I see everywhere on Hondas.

Hey buddy no need to be gay! Take your lame *** and get out! No need to call anyone poor. It doesn't mean **** if your dad drives a 750iL. You can take the torque that it pleasures you with and shove it up your A$$, flamer. For all we know your daddy could be driving a 1989 750iL. Who cares what your financial status is. If you want to brag about wealth I will challenge you to that. May be you would like to take a peek a my folks accounts. Let's just say on all 5 accounts they are approaching the limit that the FDIC will insure.

Get a life loser. FYI no one said the styling of the M5 & M3 was crap. Maybe if your so called rich daddy gave 2 cents about your education he would have paid for a tutor to tutor you in your reading comprehention skills.

Just for you:
THE Z4 IS CRAP AND MOST BMW's, no ALL BMW's ARE OVERPRICED!

Any questions?

I don't care what anyone says, it a free country and we are all entitled to our own opinions.. i personally like any car that appeases my eye in style and performance. It is well known that the M-series of BMW is an outstanding performance automobile, period. Why do you think all other car manufacturers out there are always trying to come up with a "BMW fighter"? aka, IS300-to 3-series..still can't beat the M3...or the GS-400 to and M5? can't do it... Just some opinions of people who pit these cars against the BMW...9 times out of 10, the BMW will win.


Sometimes, you just can't out-BMW, a BMW.

It is well known that the BMW M-series is outstanding. But it is also well known that the Type-R line of Honda has been top notch as well. The AMG-series of Mercedes is outstanding as well. What's your point?

Not every carmaker is out to "fight" BMW. Most car-makers are able to produce similar luxury and performance at a fraction of the price.

I have beef with BMW becasue everytime I brought my M3 in something else broke. The damn thing seemd like it was gear limted to less than 130... I was on the highway redlined 4th and I was doign all of 100 maybe 110... Shifted to 5th... I only had a few thousand to climb before I would have hit the rev limter... Very not cool IMO. ANd the damn thing kept breaking. So I wont be buying or supporting BMW anytime soon.

Such as?
Such as the Acura TL-S and CL-S and the Infiniti G35, all of which offer more horsepower and more standard equipment, at a price that's around $8-10K less than a similar BMW 3-series once you add in all the BMW options that come standard on the other models.

They're all nice cars, and there are more similarities than differences. But the biggest difference is in the price tag.

I think it kinda looks like a Marcos. In my opinion, i think the lines of the car are all over the place, there is nothing where they all come together, like a Z8. BMWs are very nice, but in about 10 years, the resale will be rediculously low.

You are calling me an ignorant hillbilly!?!? Maybe you should get off your daddy's lap and start acting your age. I think you should reread your original post. Like I said there was no need to call anyone poor and compare them to you just because your father drives a pathetic 750iL.

Buddy I think you should take into consideration that some people are not as fortunate as others. As low as you are I really don't feel like wasting my time on you right now. Very sorry that you turned out the way you are today. Jumping on someone's back and calling them poor just because they dissed and piece of **** Z4. And yes I called it a piece of ****! Overpriced as well for it's pathetic performance. Stop living behind the BMW symbol it makes you look like a fool. Oh and one more thing, if BMW is prestige and very well designed and original then why in the hell are they taking styling tips from other auto-makers?

they call the technique used in the sheetmetal design for the z4, "flame surfacing" (light and shadows are supposed to resemble fire) I don't get it.
