Re: We want the BMW E36

Ever heard of licensing? Do you have evidence to back up that this is the most popular BMW out there? I would not call the E36 the most popular one out there.

  • I admit it's the most popular one for me cause I drive one. But even if it's not for everyone, it's still by far more adorable than the M2. Nobody with some sense for nice cars can dispute this. It looks like a Hyundai with a BMW badge on it.

    Of course the E36 is going to be more affordable. They are a 20 year old design. They do not have the power or technology that the modern ones have. The new ones do not look like Hyundai's. Do not get me wrong, I like the older BMW's. Also, the reason why a lot of cars look a like now-a-days is because of aerodynamics standards set my the federal government. If a car company wants to have their cars here in the US, they have to meet both aerodynamics, safety and emissions standards. Calling the new ones a joke is a joke on itself. The M2 comes with 375 HP out of a 3.0 straight 6. Both the M3 & M4 have between 425 and 444 HP out of the same straight 6's and they have an even more customization and performance following than the E36 and E46 combined. 

  • Of course the new M3s and M4s are great cars, as well as the E46. But even the E30 is in the game, like many other old cars. EA seems to put high value on BMWs in the game. So it's just like there's something missing. In Forza on the Xbox you can play the E36 as well, but PS4 players unfortunately cannot.

    The reason why they put a higher focus on BMWs is because they have a deal with BMW just like how Forza does with Porsche. Thats why the new M5 was revealed with the game.

    Your Post:

    That's why the new M5 was revealed with the game.

    My reply: Your absolutely right E.A. and BMW have had a long-term contract through the years.

    BMW loves the free advertisement of there automobiles in this franchise, and it works well for profits in the game and on the BMW Sales Lot.

    So no surprise the M5 was included in this game.

    I prefer the old BMW cars myself, there was something about the way they drove and shifted in manual.
