I don't understand how BMW, and M specifically, can get away with not producing a E9x size M car for a few (three plus) years. Do they really think a two seater or a SUV can fulfill this? No one will want the impracticality of a two seater or the large size of a SUV. I find the size of my E90 perfect for everyday use. The lack of a product in that market segment will drive people to other brands.

I personally thought that putting a V8 in this generation M3 was a mistake. Now BMW/M has lots of people whining about the lack of a V8. They should have done a twin turbo I6. I love I6's (particularly NA one's) and the fact that they ventured away from them disappointed me.

On a side note, I think a X3M would be cool for a family size vehicle. In a few years for myself that would be great for practicality and fun.
