BlueMWs – A Roundup of Newer BMWs

If I’m brutally honest, I’m not a huge fan of most of the newer BMW designs. As my wife says, I’d be happy if Journey was still on the radio and everyone was walking around with a mullet (that’s only half true…). But that’s not it; as I was saying to her just yesterday, I just don’t get excited about most of the new designs that come out. It wasn’t always this way – I remember eagerly awaiting the next issue of the multiple car magazines I subscribed to so that I could immediately flip to the section I found most exciting – the upcoming cars feature. But that enthusiasm has waned as cars have grown more complex, isolating and expensive. Sure, they’re faster – and even basic models do everything much better than even some “supercars” from the 1980s. But I don’t look at them and get excited like I did when the S4 first launched, for example. But, a thought occurred to me – while I’m not the biggest fan of these cars, proportionate to what you used to receive they’re simply a better value and better cars. We can pontificate about the virtues of the E30 M3 to no end, but the reality is that even around a track, the bone-stock 328i all-wheel drive wagon below would give it a run for its money without much difficulty – and in every other aspect, it’s a better car. We’re really still in the midst of a horsepower revolution, but that power is translated to the ground better than before with more sophisticated transmissions and computer aids along with all-wheel drive available in most packages. But it’s not just speed – not only can these fast cars get you to the Alps, they are like the luxury resorts when you get there, with fine materials and fit and finish that are really top quality. In a word, they’re spectacular at being cars that are much more functional in multiple facets than anything previously. So, here’s a lineup of some neat newer BMWs; while I’m not the biggest fan of all the packages or designs, one thing that I do love is their blues – so here’s a round up of most of them:

Up for sale is a 2014 BMW M6 with only 600 miles on it. 1 owner. Clean carfax. Call Brian Louis with any questions at 1-888-634-1470 or 1-847-269-0224. Here is the build for this car:

I’ll start out with this M6 Gran Coupe. I don’t think it’s the prettiest or cleanest design – it looks very heavy, which it is. But, it must be said that I think overall it’s better than the previous 6 series. The 4-door aspect of the 6 also isn’t my favorite, but follows what Audi is doing with every permutation of every platform – micro-specialization, if you would. Is the M6 Gran Coupe a better car than the M5? It’s a bit odd that they offer both alongside each other, but of course there’s a market for each – like the RS5 cabriolet . What is spectacular is the San Marino Blue that this car is offered in, and the race track reference is certainly made good by the 560 horsepower with matching torque from the twin-turbocharged V8 on tap. Also like the RS5, this particular example has only covered 600 miles and is offered at a discount over the MSRP.

Of course, do you need the M6 when the 650i Gran Coupe comes with a staggering 440 horsepower? You get a big discount stepping down to “only” 440 horses and there are some other minor differences, but overall the experience should be pretty similar. Presented in Deep Sea Blue, this car is very pretty and a little more understated than the full M version – though it should be noted that this car has the M Sport package. I sat in a Gran Coupe a few months ago and, though I’m not overly tall, I was pretty shocked by the driving position and lack of headroom in the front. In my normal driving position, my forehead was disturbingly close to the sun visor, limiting my vision and making me wonder about safety – I was certainly not very comfortable. Apparently the driving position for these cars is near-laying down. I’ll take the 5 series over these, personally.

Like the 6, the 7 series also isn’t my favorite BMW design, but again I think it must be said that it’s better than the previous generation or two. This 750Li is impressive in what appears to be Laguna Seca Blue, but I’m not exactly sure what the specific color name is. It was specially ordered and heavily optioned, including the M Sport package. It’s impressive, no doubt, and one of the prettier 7s I’ve seen recently. Like the others, going lightly used will give you a heavy discount over MSRP for what is effectively a new car. I could do without the black wheels, but otherwise this is one neat big executive sedan with shocking performance thanks to the N63 twin-turbo V8 found in the other cars too.

One of the few designs that has really grown on me is the new 3 series; in my mind, a substantial improvement over the previous design. Equipped like this 328i xDrive Touring in M-Sport with special Estoril Blue paint, it’s a great reminder of what we’ve lost with Audi’s departure from the market realm. It’s well proportioned, gorgeous inside, and plenty powerful thanks to the new N20 turbocharged 4-cylinder with 240 horsepower and 260 lb.ft of torque. These are actually pretty striking in person in this color combination, but boy will you pay for it; top spec 3s are well into the $50,000 range. It’s as if the entire model range has been lifted artificially. Still, if I had to chose one of these cars to live with day to day, I think this would be the one (minus the black wheels).

The new F10 M5 has grown on me; it’s conservative compared to the previous generation, but that’s what the 5 has always been about. In Monte Carlo Blue it certainly looks impressive and is matched by the performance from the S63 twin-turbo V8. As always, the bar has been raised with the introduction of the new M5; dynamically, the reports are that this car is simply otherworldly in terms of performance. But boy is it heavy! This car has the most miles in the group, but again looks basically new and offers you a big discount over MSRP. I’m sure the new M5 is impressive in every way, but if I’m honest I think this new level of complexity and performance is a little over the top.

Save thousands on this Demo Special! This is BMW Certified w/ a 5 year/75,000 mile warranty and qualifies for rates low as 1.9% through the BMW Select Financing Program! This BMW came with an original MSRP of $60,650! This 2014 BMW 435i Coupe Luxury Line has a Midnight Blue Metallic exterior and Venetian Beige interior! Options include a 6-Speed Manual Transmission, Premium Package, Technology Package w/ Navigation, Lighting Package, Driver Assistance Package, Cold Weather Package w/ Heated Seats, Rear, Side and Top View Cameras, Head-Up Display, Comfort Access, Park Distance Control, BMW Assist, Satellite Radio, Rear View Camera, Harman Kardon Sound System, BMW Apps, and a Moonroof.ONLY 5,640 Miles!

So here’s the answer; a manual transmission and inline-6 – hallmarks of the BMW sports sedan and coupe until recently. This 435i in Midnight Blue Metallic is both a pretty design and well specified in this example; I think the non-M version looks pretty in this case. You’ll get a great drivetrain in the development of the N54, the twin-scroll N55 motor with 300 horsepower and matching torque. Okay, maybe it’s not enough for everyone, but this car strikes me as the closest to the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s era BMWs, and while I value the versatility of the sport wagon, I think this design is really pretty nice. Which would you like?
