Compared to it's predecessor (the 2002/2002tii), it was argued how dramatically heavier it was (imagine that thought lol), how it didn't handle as well, how it was slower, uglier, much much more expensive, etc, etc. The fact that BMWNA was only a year old at that point, having bought out Max Hoffman the prior year, and that they were embarking on a quest to move BMW way upscale and to attract a much wealthier clientele didn't help either. It was viewed as the beginning of the end for BMW, lol...almost 50 years ago now.

Rinse and repeat, my friend.

The decision...

Do I get one last Manual M4 (or M3) or do I wait for the G84 to get what undoubtedly will be a superior car.

I can't be alone thinking about this...

Are you seriously asking "should I buy a car now or in 4 years"?

That's a totally separate decision.

You think this is bad? You should see how finicky the Porsche community is. Some people still aren't over water cooling and fried eggs. If only they had a big grill to scramble them on.

Less is almost always more

Was the CLS where they actually fixed the m4 grill pretty nicely?
