great car, i suppose, but BMW's are geting so TIRED looking.

BLEH.

I still love BMW and most likely always will. If I didn't work for GM, I would work for BMW!

BMW makes a great car, but their designs are getting seriously tired, to me anyways.

Exterior is good interior design sucks...they make some of the ugliest interiors on the market...Hyundai has nicers designs...even DCX has some better ones.

That being said they still use some of the best materials (for the most part).

it just doesn't inspire intimidation and ferocity liek the last gen M3 did. and the back is just screams put me to sleep.

It no longer has the looks that kill... and no inline 6, which is a shame.

And that carbon fibre roof just makes it look superficial.

I would take a 335i over the new M3, even if they were the same price (which they won't be).

BMW’s recently unveiled brake energy regeneration system stores power generated on a trailing throttle and under braking, using it to top up the battery when required rather than drawing precious power from the engine to spin the alternator.

Cool feature.

Though the previous-gen M3 was IMO the pinnacle of BMW's design philosophy, this doesn't look bad at all. Certainly the most attractive of all the bangled Beemers.
