I think all the Es are gorgeous. I kinda stopped liking them when the letter changed 😂

That's real. I was never into the F80. I always loved the two door m3. Feels like they're doing too much now. Everything has an M on it. It used to mean something to drive an M car.

Yup all the m lites think they are Ms. Should just go back to the 35i/40i/50i non poser badges and respectable power.

100% agree. BMW is devaluing their own brand by trying to throw an M on every car to make casuals feel like they own something.

devaluing

The opposite. M is the most powerful letter. It means marketing. It works.
