I'm not a fan of the look of the M3 (except in NFS:MW GTR trim) from that gen but the rest of the 3 series lineup was arguably the best looking 3's ever until Chris Bangle ruined the entire company.

Errr, Chris Bangle never had a say in the Post E46 3-series design phase. It was given (thankfully) to Joji Nagashima who made the next best-looking 3 series.

I honestly can't stand anything released new from BMW post-MY2002, aside from the Z4. The 1-and-3 series are forgettably designed imho, your comment about Joji Nagashima is probably why their design invokes no reaction to my eyes, as opposed to the urge to vomit seeing the angry-eyed 5-series, that terrible mistake of a 7-series or that horrible fastback SUV-like atrocity whose name escapes the tip of my tongue. The Z4 somehow managed to do the look right and look nice. And then they made a fastback Z4, which went from nice to downright sexy - slash dream car status.

Again, please research what you're saying. Nagashima was responsible for the Z3, E39 (M5) and the E90 M3.

What about the E56 M3? Or is the new one the E90? God, BMW chassis lingo is so hard to keep up with, it's almost as bad as Porsche and their infinite 9-models.

Sorry dude, most German cars aren't really my bag. They don't interest me, and as a side effect, I don't know much about 'em.

Then why on God's earth did you comment on something YOU-DON'T-KNOW?

Not unless absolutely necessary, since Google is a necessary evil of life sometimes.

Anywho, sweet E46. I'm not a fan of the look of the M3 (except in NFS:MW GTR trim) from that gen but the rest of the 3 series lineup was arguably the best looking 3's ever until Chris Bangle ruined the entire company.

What engine does it have? The M50B25? One of my friends had an E46 sedan and big-singled that bitch, and man did it fly.

Thank you, I'll post some more pictures tomorrow when it's day light. It's not anything special, but it is pretty clean

Oh, It's a 325i, so it has the M56B25 engine(2.5 liter straight 6 I think?) It's not exactly fast but it does handle pretty good

I agree with what you guys are saying about the post 2005ish BMWs, I don't know the specifics of who designed them or whatever but to me they're a bit ugly, overweight and the iDrive is such a nightmare to use!

Ehh, the Bangle BMWs were just... Horrible. Having said that, the E90 was the last true BMW by a long mile.

The E90 was nice, but to me the last true BMW was the E30 M3. After that BMW started to "Americanize" their cars which means, heavier, bigger and softer suspension. My favorite BMW was the 507.

OOOOOOoooooOOOoohhhh, so that weird turn-signal emblem on the Z4 isn't just there to be different, it's a homage to a model I never knew existed.

And from the looks of it, the Z4 itself is a modern day homage to the 507. Me likey!

Yes absolutely, although the Z8 was a lot closer to the 507 then the Z4.
