I had Fox Red interior on my E92 and I liked it much better than my buddy's all black one. Both of our cars were Jerez Black though. I expect SO interior to be along the same lines as Fox Red.

So what's Audi's excuse for not having the ugly hood cut on their 2015 cars or M-B not having a hood line on the new S class? And I was under the impression that it was cheaper to manufacture the nose with the ugly hood cut. The 2002 Z4 vs the E46 M3, the Z4 plasticky front was cheaper to produce.

And, yes both cars did "well" but the BMW did better and scored more points. Where the BMW received this comment: Quote:

The 3 series scored 28 pts, 78%, scored maximum points. 74%/27 pts is poor, 78%/28pts is outstanding. Okay |

I am sure you can't write too much about it, so I'll ask a generic question and let you answer in whatever way you can or see fit. Having driven the DCT equipped car, do you think the 6MT would somehow be the lesser experience? I know you wrote about the harmony between engine, transmission and suspension. Do you feel that would be better, worse or just different with the 6MT? Anything you can offer would be appreciated. Thanks again Scott! |

Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe they are waiting for the new full size and lightweight G chassis to expand the large models around? 7 series GT, 8- series coupe,vert, X7 etc. Just wild guesses but I assume the growth markets demands will play a large role as BMW try to fill every niche.

Not to beat a dead horse or anything. But how many times must we cover the nose cone of a modern BMW. When one of the more significant benefits become overlooked.
Yes it is there because of pedestrian protection but it is also there to provide benefit for the owner. If your car is in a minimal speed accident , the split panel could prevent damage to your actual hood therefore it will be cheaper for insurance companies and the owner to repair. Where as you could pay significantly for a new hood if in another vehicle.

I do not think it will be a lesser experience , perhaps equal or maybe significantly better? People in these kind of mid-sized performance cars still like to feel the conventional over extended technology. So rest assured the manual equipped car will be engineered to satisfy. However from my initial experience the M-DCT though is tailor made for this car.

P.S. if you feel insulted when someone says something about your car... You should go shopping for some self esteem not the new M3. |
