I found my new car.

+1 for E46 CSL! Saw it once in real life... and I was suprised how much better it looks in real life than on photos.

BMW copying the style of the old Hyundai Coupe was a very strange move, They are ****ing ugly cars.

[Smee]

BMW used to always be years ahead in terms of design, and you could spot one in a crowd instantly.
Now with most of their models, and the fact that the Japanese and Koreans have "borrowed" so much of their styling.. They don't stand out to me like they used to.

If i ever get a BMW this is what i'd get : 2007 M3 CSL E46

This. I'll take a M3 over any other BMW any day.

Yah E46 M3 was my fav as well. This new one while more aggressive still looks very much the same as the E90. It looks meaner, but sort of over the top with the lines, which takes away from the luxury image. The older models pre E90 had the balance perfect, they looked like low, sleek, mean, sporty machines, but with a lot of refinement and were in no way over the top.

At least they're focusing on reducing weight.
