Do I hear the unmistakable sound of a leather wallet being opened?

So it’s a 2 series, with a TT 3-Liter... where does the 40 part come in?

Is the M2 under 50k?

Yeah. That signifies the switch from the N55 to the B58.

I’d rather have 4 Nissan Versas

It really is a great car.

I prefer the M140i hatch though.

With red leather.

No need to blow 2 grand on a nav system when G maps and Waze will suffice.

Is this new engine really any better than the previous one?

Nah, BMW is just rounding up to the nearest 10 on all trims on all models for model yeas 2017 and up in order to make the nomenclature “more readily understood.”

I thought it was just for marketing. Like how the 320i is called the 328i in the US because bigger number means better car!

Says a person that literally profits from selling one.

A used E92 M3 is the best drivers car under $50k

LongbowMkII > Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo

I ain’t turning in my 328i for a 320i. That’s less!

I'm going to Mercedes. I can get a C400 there!

Spec Versa series?

Spec Versa series.

“Fuck that peon C400, I’m getting a C430 AMG!”

“You know, it’s not actually a real —”

“It says AMG right on the back of it!"

No 1 series in the US, unfortunately, because Americans hate small hatchbacks

If you added “new” in front of your post I agree. Definitely not the best driver’s car for under $50k. New BMWs are not driver’s cars. I've driven an M235i extensively.

But I’m a pedant who believes that a driver’s car is one which the limits can be explored “legalish” on the street.
