Ugh. I have to believe this isn't the approach, but I think you're right. Mercedes' approach is a 4 banger with an electric motor that in part spools the boost on the turbo. These approaches are so heavy and take away so much from the driving experience. My hope is bmw can sell enough of these PHEVs and EVs as well to keep the M3 non hybrid.

I'm growing very tired of the "pig from angry birds" look. Why must BMW continue with these designs?

On the flip side they don't look like eggs or melting bars of soap (Merc) or different lengths of the same sausage (Audi). So there's that. |

BMW is still doing an incredible job at offering a product that is comparatively less than 80-90% the MSRP of P-Cars, Mercedes or other high priced brands despite the same quality of materials, speed, power and driving dynamics. $160k may seem like a lot for a BMW but it's still a "discount price" compared to what you would have to spend to get equal characteristics in the category above. The brand marketing has achieved a feeling where you are getting 95% of the same car for 80% of the price compared to the other brands.

I simply disagree BMW is delivering the "same quality of materials, speed, power and driving dynamics" as Porsche. BMWs are priced less than Porsche because they have to be. BMWs are a tier below.

Or to phrase it differently, I can keep up off the line with the $200k+ crowd for $40k less. Always has been the selling charm of BMW since the days of old. I remember in Germany in the 1990s BMW M cars were called the P-car killer for the middle class. It's all just subjective and marketing though. Porsche doesn't want to compare itself because they want you to feel special and elaborate. Marketing. BMW wants you to think it's the ultimate driving machine. Marketing. Mercedes wants you to think you're part of your boss's boss crowd. Marketing. It's all BS - at the end of day drive what you like and move on.

Whoever that last poster was, clearly has to learn how to properly utilize the quoting function. What a shi*sho*
