So let me get this straight you are mad because a company is constantly trying to improve rather then stay stagnant.
I never understand when people buy cars to keep up with joneses or to prove I have the latest and greatest and you do not...ha.. ha.. haha... ha. All cars go through life cycle changes to keep the sales going and interest spiked. I would be more upset if a company sat idled and did not improve their products. Heck I wish the M3 engine had a power bump because with time it was being out classed by its rivals. Where 414hp was sufficient at one time now at least 450hp is required on paper for equal comparison. At least BMW M did not sit on their behinds and did give a useful comp. pkg to keep the car more competitive. Now if you are one of those that has to have the latest and greatest at all time. Then you know the saying......"you gotta pay to play" On the other hand I am secure in what I bought and it does not make me feel bad that I do not have the latest and greatest. Because when I bought the car at that time those were the options and gizmos that I liked and were sufficient for me. Just cause some thing new came along it does not mean my thing is trash....it still satisfies my needs more then enough......all the while I can appreciate the improvement in new product. My 745i was old news compare to 750i ditto for my 545i vs 550i or 335i vs 335is. However, I am happy in what I have until I decide to move on. Be content pal and not stress over every little change. Because girls and cars both lose lust factor with each passing year....however lust is replaced with love and respect (: Quote:

Must suck for some of you especially with this relatively large bump for the 650i, heck its half an engine grade of performance.
The regular 5 doesn't get it because its still too new, they don't need it yet to keep up the sales. Which begs why the 6 and 6GC, I guess its because of their premium pricing, and vs. competitors etc. On the other side, the 1st year F10 528 got the N52/3 engine with 258hp which is the same as the 530 now, same torque and only 14hp less. Price was also lower. |

I just did a write up on my blog about the 2012 v. 2013 6er topic. Let me know what you think (I started another thread on the 6er page to further discuss what I wrote).

WOW>>>>>>> Your blog is incredible man! I couldn't stop reading it. I ordered my Alpine White/Ivory/Fine Line Oak 650i M-Sport this past Saturday. I didn't get the B&O, didn't feel it was worth it. I got M-Sport, Adaptive Drive, Exec Pack and LED Lights. It came out a lil cheaper than a 2012 model with the same equipment. The 2013 Exec pack is a really good value coming from BMW. Salesman says 6-8 weeks now. I hate waiting. Can't wait to feel the upgraded power as the 2012 model felt powerful enough for me on the many test drives I took. One question though, why xdrive if you're in Alabama? M Last edited by Merc1; 06-11-2012 at 08:31 PM.. |

I would guess similar acceleration times for a F12 and F02 with the same engine and transmission due to similar weights. |
