what s wrong with this picture spot the facelift edition

With a brand new BMW 3 Series in development, BMW has updated the current-generation coupe and convertible. Or has it? Say what you want about the Bangle era, in those days a mid-cycle refresh was a mid-cycle refresh.

They junked iDrive, removed the turn signal stalk since it never gets used anyway, added a free case of hair gel with every purchase, and cut $20,000 from the price. Not really. Hey, another BMW with Munich plates photographed in Arizona, this one on the road to Mt. Lemmon outside Tucson. Seismic shift?

In this era of BMW Gran Tourismos and other such abortions, this tasteful and modest update is most welcome.

1995 SC How bout those steel tariffs. Wonder if everyone falls into the same camp with respect to supporting/opposing them as they did on the auto tariffs a few weeks ago. Doubt it. Wonder Why that would be?
Lorenzo Nice going! They eliminated the "5" numbers on the speedometer so they could get it to read up to 180 mph. The speed limit is 65? You have to guess one quarter of the needle distance between 60 and 80. Virtually every state has 55, 65, and 75 mph speed limits, not to mention urban areas where 25, 35, and 45 mph limits are common. All that guesswork to display a maximum speed the driver will never reach.
Norman Stansfield Automation will make this irrelevant.
Lorenzo Motor sports is dead. It was killed by greed.
Ravenuer Sorry, I just don't like the new Corvettes. But then I'm an old guy, so get off my lawn!😆
