The Ford Mustang and BMW M4, at face value, probably don’t appear to have a whole lot in common. They go at it from opposite ends of the enthusiast landscape: The Mustang is the quintessential pony car—an American icon by almost any definition—while the BMW M4 builds on decades of finely groomed performance pedigree. Price-wise there’s a vast difference, too; you could get two high-performance, V-8-powered Mustang GT Coupes for approximately the price of a base BMW M4. Yet these two models have become more closely aligned than you might think, in recent years. Both models are nearly identical in overall width and height and within a few inches in overall length.

Very pretty ,, but the bigger the BMW the faster it depreciates... you can get V12 7 Series for (almost) nothing ,, and V8’s for just a bit more... The 1 Series first year cars sell for MORE than new!
I love the M3 but it’s gotten so big and overburdened with electronic crapola it’s not appealing to me anymore ... The last good one was the E39 and even that was heavy and will be a maintenance nightmare as it ages. BMW years ago jumped on the ECO-Warrior bandwagon and declared that it’s cars would be 100% recyclable... they changed interior plastics, foams and coatings on wiring to crap that disintegrates on purpose!!! (Save the Earth!) I pity the fool that buys one second hand after 10 years in the Florida sun... The germans have never understood climates other than Bavaria... MBZ had the hardest time in the 1980’s finally getting their A/C up to Florida , Arizona , Texas standards... took AC-Delco components to get there...
