Give me one for the same price and weight as the Supra ?

Just imagine it in purple with black accents

Somehow even still terrible.

Honestly, it looks like a Lego Technica car. The sharp blocks they integrated around the body really throws off the design.

Ok… So I tried to explain everything y’all have been saying on the this thread, to convince my wife this car is just fugly. I didn’t even get to cost & weighs more. She‘s on BMW page trying to build one. I finally sent her a link to this thread and asked her to read it. She scanned through the pages quickly and nope, nada, nothing. She still loves it. ? It has the BMW name, is the smallest, has the best looks (in her opinion), and she can option it the way she wants… No options, and shows me the price for around $60k ?

I said the only thing you gain is a back seat. Which is not true but I started there, testing my waters. “That’s exactly what I want.“ Conversation over

A clear thinking and astute enthusiast she is!

Going to see an new M2 on Tuesday. Sales guy said that I likely won’t be allowed to drive it, which I understand as I’m not a current customer or a BMW owner, don’t have a deposit down, and it’s in the showroom so taking it out would mean having to detail it again before putting it back in the showroom.

I asked if they had a current gen 2 series that I could drive…he said that they had a new 235 with 300hp hat will give me a good idea. Ummmm, no, that’s the 4 door FWD platform 2 liter fake BMW. Literally shares only a number with the 2 series coupe. Why are sales people so freaking bad at knowing their own product, little on what else is on the market.

He knows that the “m” badge sells cars. If you are a car enthusiast on car forums discussing every little detail you are are not the typical consumer.

Which is why every BMW has //M badges all over it.

And my fucking hatred of that is so unreasonable and so petty yet I can’t just let it go. Told my wife if we ever find an X3 M40i the second thing I’m doing to it is removing the badges.

What the hell is wrong with people?!? Do you want to sell the car or not??? Get off your lazy asses and do some work. Which means letting you test drive the car. Even just close to the dealer or around the parking lot. It’s not like you’re going mudding ? That sucks!!!!! Maybe it‘s a New Brunswick Canada thing? Some states and cities down here are more “uptight” as well. I’d move on and not buy from them for sure!!! Principle alone

It’s funny you can option all that stuff. I guess people buy it ?

Yup. This and the whole subscription model BMW are trying on in some regions is a massive turn off for me. And the M2 colours are awful, lol.
