Wonder what the stats are on this year’s cars. We must be close to 4 metres at this rate.

The paint is interesting and all, but what really fascinates be is that top intake. They’ve mentioned that it was redesigned specifically with the goal of getting more air to the rear wing, which is all good and well.

I once got lost in flat-earther Youtube, which is the only reason I know this, but I shit you not, many of them believe that the moon is... wait for it... a projection. Yes, you read that correctly, a projection.

If those are the only choices, then overtaking every time. The mid-90s had some good F1 racing, but British Touring Cars had by far the more exciting racing in that same time period.

I think that we live in an age where people do not get offended more easily than before, but people seem to be a lot more sanctimonious than ever. Being offended is today’s version of letting the world know how much you’ve donated to charity anonymously.

Going to sound butthurt, but I’ll post it anyway: This is a stupid, stupid, stupid move by Ferrari. We’re talking about the same Arrivabene that stood behind Ferrari’s drivers come hell or high water.

Dear lord, yes! I’d bet that the numbers alone might not seem all that impressive to today’s casual car enthusiast, but just listen to it!

Thanks Fuzzy86. I hope they make it an option on the “M Sport Package” to have all the bits that go along with it, but minus the grille. I don’t think that the hexagonal grille looks atrocious, but I’d be lying if I said that I prefer it over the traditional slatted kidneys.

I’m mostly interested to know whether BMW will offer the sport kit on the 340i without the hexagonal grille design. Do you have to go with the hexagonal grille when ticking the sport kit, or can you mix and match it?

I kind of like it. Wondering if Peter Schreyer and Luc Donckerwolke oversaw the styling of this, and if it was them, I’d risk suspecting that they purposefully went for some controversial elements.

Starring this as it’s essentially exactly what I wanted to write.

Got Kinja’d, trying again: The Opel version of that car used to be a really awesome little car. In 1988 or thereabouts, they produced the so-called “Superboss”, which had 172HP. From a 2 litre, N/A 4 banger. In 1988.

Great article and pictures, David. I apologize in advance for this, but: “Here’s the 3.0-liter turbo out of the 330.” <-- I think the 330i will again be a 2.0 litre turbo four-banger.

I reckon I’d say E90. To me, that’s the generation where everything was just right. Size wasn’t too big, not too small, engines were more powerful than what came in the E46, sounded spectacular, and looked great post-facelift.

I’m not white-knighting BMW here, I promise, but I’m just not seeing how the roofline resembles the C Class at all. If anything, it looks remarkably similar to the current F30:

Better than I expected quite honestly. The only things I’m not too fond of just yet are the extra kink in the Hoffmeister kink, and those kidneys being connected. Not too sold on the headlights yet either, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it.

Well I’ll be damned. I was going to reply with something along the lines of me believing the CLS will be longer and taller, but narrower than the AMG GT 4 door. Turns out though that that impression of mine was completely wrong, the AMG GT 4 door apparently being wider (expected), longer (unexpected) AND taller…

To my tastes, if they gave it a bit more of a traditional centre console and some semblance of curvature on the side (bit more flared wheel-arches, say), I’d have probably thought it looked ace. To my eyes, it looks extremely slab-sided and chintzy, especially the centre console aping a V8.

I have no idea either. Interestingly, I remember seeing a review of it on Top Gear, that car having featured a tweaked BMW V8. From what I could gather online though, it’s supposed to have been the BMW V10 as you’ve stated.

Also, nowhere near the same class I reckon, but same vintage.
