The 2002, E21 and E30 two-door cars were all called sedans, fwiw.

Or even the last 50 years.  The 2002 was considered a sedan.

“Why the latter doesn’t match the current coupe’s M240i designation would be anyone’s guess if it’s accurate.”

We might be the same person, because our opinions are identical. That’s a teenager humiliation-mobile.

Wow, I didn’t realize he for real used to be a makeup artist.

I’m an idiot. I’m now remember it was actually a GTS, so only like $20K in options.

My friend drives an STi, and even HE makes those jokes all the time.  Timeless.

Oddly enough, a dealer brought a Cayman that looked just like that to Cars & Coffee last weekend, and they left the window sticker on the car. The options list didn’t look ridiculous, but it brought the thing up to a little over $100k.

The 2020 Supra Looks So Damn Good With A Massive Wing, If You’re Blind.

Plus, the “S” model still won’t be the bottom of the line for Porsche.  There will surely be a Taycan/Taycan 4 to come. 

Yeah, I guess I’m just saying that, in going for volume, BMW is officially aiming towards a different kind of customer now days. I’m not saying I like it, but I get it. When BMW was primarily a driving enthusiast’s brand and selling lower numbers, they could stick with the more conservative, Teutonic designs. Now…

Funny you should asked. The much maligned 996, with the fried egg headlights, was the the biggest selling 911 generation up until that point:

I hear you, but to be fair, BMW sells 9x more vehicles than Porsche in the US per year, and the 911 was saved by the SUVs.

Yeah, Ed looks like the Jim Henson version of Harry.

They should have left typical Charger/Challenger owners with a real dilemma and made them this color:

Am I wrong that it seems a little redundant to have both the new windscreen and a helmet visor, especially if trying to fight glare?  Is the visor still required for safety?

Sure, but that’s kind of the point. They’ve gone from a somewhat niche, enthusiast car maker to a global powerhouse, so that’s the cost. I bet even if they made the manual a $10k option, there would be some takers.

Sure, and those happen to be some of my favorite BMWs, although the first 8-series, while beautiful and v-12 powered, was heavy and somewhat plodding. Still, they currently have the M2C, the upcoming M8, etc. Agreed about the i8. That was their opportunity for a halo car.

Yep, although I still think all M cars, even the SUVs, should have a manual option, if they really want it to be fun.
