Those extra couple inches y'all hated are making the design!

I can't help but think one of the best designs BMW ever came up with is on today's 3s and 4s, and that its those extra couple inches that made it possible without the mini-/dollhouse effect.

I've got a 335 M-Sport and smile every time I look at it. The 4s are great too!

The design of these cars almost make me forget how crappy the 1990s-styled GUI is! (Sorry, couldn't help it...)

I agree, its amazing how just a few inches total in the car can make it feel so much bigger. I also think they are very sleek looking in msport! Im not really digging the MB style side mirrors, or the MB like quality control. All and all, a great car...to lease.

My feelings about the 4 are obvious--I bought one--but yeah, I think the 4 series is drop dead gorgeous.

I thought MB has really good quality and control. No?
