What do you think of M coupes?

I know they are fast. I saw one yesterday and it totally looked like a Nike sneaker. I can't get with the design. What do you think?

If you ever drove one (especially the new one), you would change your mind.

Bad ass little car...

The M Coupes are such badass cars. I just test drove the new 315 Hp one and it was such a blast! I had a black 3.0 Z3 Coupe loaner car from BMW for a day. Yes, I had to wait almost a month for some service that I could get this car. It was well worth the wait. It was a stick shift and the car was so darned fun to drive! Yeah, people will say that the suspension is primitive, but that's what makes the car so fun to drive. It leaves more to the driver's skill, and that's really what makes a sports car a sports car. It is definitely my dream car. On another note, BMW is coming out with the new body style Z3 complete with Alteza lights and all...

I absolutely love the M coupe. It look so muscular and aggresive, how can't you love that car. And tell me this, what other car out there looks like it?

AWESOME CAR!

Peace.

M Coupes ---> Love/Hate Relationship. People either love them or hate them. At first, I thought they looked dumb, but until you have been in one and seen one on the road, they are purely aggressive and mean as hell!!!

Yeah, the suspension is cool in that car. Nothing wrong with the rear semi trailing arm suspension. Works pretty well in my car. Plus the coupes are faster than the M3s, even if they don't look as good.

M Coupes are awesome! I remember someone in Roundel commenting about the looks "It doesn't matter what it looks like from the outside once your driving it". I like the styling personally, very unusual but very strong and muscular.

Oft described as "The Bavarian Bread Wagon"

I really do think they look like clown shoes. But I know what an asskicking they can give in person...
