yashBMW · 01-12-2010, 07:17 AM

Car looks gorgeous, but still dont get the point of not making an ///M version

What's with all the ridiculous naming "conventions" BMW use lately? "s Drive Z4 35is" is clumsy and redundant at best. As far as I know, the Z4 is not available with all-wheel drive so "s Drive" not needed (never was in the past, either).

Why doesn't BMW marketing get back to simpler naming - naming the cars for what they are. 330i (3-litre rwd sedan) 335Cxi (turbo 3-litre Coupe with xDrive), Z4 3.5i, 740dx, 535d, X5 3.5i, 130i (see - you know EXACTLY what drivetrain is in the cars without spoon-feeding or marketing-speak...) PLUS, there would be less goofy "sDrive" or "xDrive" badging on the cars detracting from their excellent beauty.

the naming conventions are nutty....

Looks lik ethis will be the "look" of the "is" versions of the Z, 3, and 1

i believe there was a story about the 1is... siver mirror caps... M badgeing

I mirror above sentiments, M for M cars only (and I dont drive an M) ~Frost

agreed!!!

63K for a Z4 with 19" rims? I don't know what the hell they are smoking up there in Munich!

flpnout · 01-18-2010, 03:35 PM

The only thing I like about the this car is the front bumper, wheels, and of course more power/performance. The rear looks too busy, IMO. Looks as if they are matching the silver mirrors with the bumper piece and grill, but has gotta go. And the name is getting longer and annoying: sDrive35is. Why not "M" already.
