...will affect BMW's brand image?

No shit? Really?

Really?

Really?

I'd say your image is pretty much screwed up, meine freunde.

The 3er GT is hideous to behold in person.

You could have a dinosaur take a giant shit out in a field somewhere. Put a roundel badge on it and Bravarian motor works could still get at least $40k for it.

There's a sucker born every minute. The sooner we learn to live with this, the happier we'll become. Its all good bravaria so long as I still get my manual M5/4/3.257/whatever the fuck you wanna call it.

I'm going to Costco and buying some eye bleach in bulk. Anybody want a pallet?

Old farts live in the past, they still think we live in BMW's glory days.

Glory days are always behind you, hence the term. Personally I think they should make the current lineup the out of the E46, E34 and E38 with updated bits.

They do still make some good stuff, but for how long ?

To be honest, I think that the old farts fear Toyota, the 86 offers a cleaner sports car experience, for less money than a Z4, and if Google translate is right, that Dutch magazine(that also seems to be a member of the German Auto Bild group) said that the IS beats the 3 Series.

Google Translate is correct. They were testing the most efficient of those cars (320i efficient dynamics and 300is h IIRC). The Lexus won out on power and luxury (the interior felt and looked better) while the Bimmer still had the edge in driver involvement, dynamics and was slightly cheaper (I think).

Most car buyers are not enthusiasts, so the more complete car is the better car, I guess.
