other than the 911 i don't think any other model name carries as much weight
i know this has been on the table since the E90/E92
but now its suddely being done, right after Audi did the same thing
and charged more for the A5 than the A4
hmmmmmmm
I could not agree with you more. The logic of the people in charge to ruin such a long lasting icon is beyond me. Everybody knows what an M3 is. As a business there is power in that. After visiting their Museum in Munich I could tell that they were proud of their long history, especially regarding the M3. Now I'm not sure what to think. I understand the need to come up with new products but it does not make any sense to alter/ruin the very icon that people love. The people in charge are truly making a wrong turn on this one.
