Still not great though. Friend bought a new 2015 GTI. Had many issues including a reoccurring one in which the engine wouldn’t start, leaving him stranded. After hiring a lawyer and going back and forth with VW, they bought it back. He now has a Model 3 and has never been happier. It’s not perfect but it’s never…

Definitely. If it were a 135 you would absolutely know. I prefer BMW’s older naturally aspirated engines but my grandma had a 2007 335i with the N54 and that shit was ridiculously fast.

We have this same one but in Pewter Metallic instead of red. 6 speed with 60k miles. 

HAHAHA best thing I’ve read all day!

Imagine how much more pronounced the difference from e32 to e38 would be if the e32 image showed the narrow grille version.

You forgot the original! These 59s were wide but the artist may have taken a few liberties here...

Honestly I’m glad someone with knowledge can identify it.

I’ve been here all my life!

Two possibilities:

Aw man I’m sorry to hear that. You say you “had to” sell your M5... but I hope it was a choice! If you live in NorCal you’re welcome to drive my car if you get the e39 itch 

100% agree - they were clean and well proportioned. New models are neither. Just last night I parked my e39 and took a pic because I will never tire of looking back at it.

Yea their design now is not at all ‘sleek’ - it’s so angular, choppy, blocky, and flabby. Gross.

I was reading over the weekend that they can only raise it about a foot without doing major construction, so it’ll only be about that much higher. I’m sure that will solve the majority of issues but here’s hoping once in a blue moon one will happen as a nice surprise 

Hahaha

I also had an F30 as a loaner twice and that was the cheapest piece of crap I’d ever driven. I can see you love BMWs of today, which is fine, but it was not just the F10. 

Yea something about that profile looks incredibly cheap. The traditional Hofmeister Kink shape seems to be a thing of the past.

Remember when BMW’s full lineup was 3, 5, 7, Z4, Z8, and X5? Those were simpler times.

Whoops, meant to say “9 years ago in 2010"

I’m on the same page as you. I have a 95 525i 5 speed and an 03 540i M sport and I’m not interested whatsoever in what they are producing today. And in regards to “loud_v8_noises”, I realize that ‘they’ve lost their way’ is a common perception now, but I remember first thinking this 9 years ago in 2019 when the F10…

No.
