I just saw a new BMW M4

Post by matthew1 »

It's huge! What happened to the concept of small and light? If it would have had an M6 badge on it I wouldn't have looked twice. (M6s are very large lux/performance coupes.)

My car "paradigm" comes from the 1980s, when cars were -- by and large -- much smaller than today.

Lighter = less engine needed = better handling and MPG.

Now it seems manufacturers are muscling and bulling their way to performance.

(I know, I know, safety requirements and features drive up weight.)
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!
