Wells gobs of horsepower doesnt necessarily translate to an exciting ride. The car could have hundreds of horsepower, but if it feels heavy then theres no "fun" in that. This is perhaps the most important thing we need to understand. We can quote the horsepower or the 0-60 times all we want but there are many other factors involved in making the auto "fun".
Then again this is a 3-series and they usually havent let consumers down in the past hehe

wheels, a drop, and a little tinting would make this car look absolutely beautiful IMO. then you've got the engine = great.

Im goin to test drive one tomorrow after work. Mommy and me want to get matching turbo BMW's. Its kinda tradition, we used to drive matching white Acuras.
I think that they didnt want to deminish sales from the upcoming M3 by making this one too sporty.

They are towed by a larger airplane into the sky and then released once at cruising altitude. Then you fly around and eventually land all without an engine. Its pretty cool

i've to admit that the bright metallic blue color adds a lot of fun factor to the car. i think bmw also knows about that and they probably use a more lifely color on purpose.
