Ditto...

 Special edition, means mostly cosmetic, no chassis, Engine up grades, I’d respect BMW more if they did that.

Sad

Sad to see the iconic BMW M3 (4) reduced to the special edition antics once the preserve of the original Mini, Vauxhall Corsa, and Morris Marina's of this world. Talk about failure of corporate goveenance, too busy fettling SUV's?
