M3 Production By Generation

Nick M3 · 03-10-2021, 04:50 PM

I knew that E9x production was trashed by the recession, but I never realized just how badly...

Also, no wonder used F80s are cheap.

Yes, I remember the glut of those cars in the fall of 2008. Presumably production scaled way down after that.

All good looking cars. By comparison, the E90 looks a bit soft.

yeah I agree, worse looking of the bunch. I don't count the new one since ugly is off the scale

F80s are looking better and better...if there had been a soft convertible version, it might have lured me to upgrade.

The F80 is let down by the location of the cutline for the hood.

It does suck, without a doubt.

It's modern car awfulness.
