Just like the Pontiac's of today, it looks just like all the other BMW's.
which isn't necessarily bad. it just isn't unique. Camaro = Unique. therefore the camaro, imho, looks tons better then BMW's. the front facia of both Pontiac's and BMW's are way overdone. I realize unique isn't always better, but in this case it definitely is.

My take on BMW 3 series vehicles is that they've lost a little something every time they've grown. The 1 series is about the size of a 3 series 15 years ago and I like the 1 series much better because of it.
The BMW is a sharp looking car, but it's sharp looking the way a nice suit is sharp looking. You think 'nice suit' and you don't give it a second thought. BMW's are clearly competent cars though so I don't begrudge someone for liking them over a Camaro. I get upset when you get to the 'car-as-appliance' segment of the market. No one gets emotionally invested in a Camry so why would you choose a Camry over it's American Counterpart. |

yes and like i said, it feels over-refined. the M cars are the only ones that offer me a more visceral driving experience, but as mentioned they are pricey and for the money i'd rather own a higher end domestic like, for example, an LS3 corvette

The M's are great cars, honestly i preffer AMG's to M's. but as far as the 335i's go they are amazing cars with amazing upside. 335i+chip = 400+hp 400+ftlbs at only 3400lbs. AKA faster than an M3. As for the corvette... amazing car. 2 seats. the 335i's combine performance with practicality.
