Yes, Those New Colors Suck (And More Too) (archive)

I'm losing confidence in BMW's decisions on many things pertaining to the new M3; keeping with the 3.2L I6 engine, uncalled for (and unknown) manufacturing delays, these color choices, etc.

On a whole different issue, I've heard Audi is definitely going to put a V8 for their A4. I don't know what this means but I'm afraid Audi (and other car makers) are really "going after" BMW.

It seems like other car makers are able and willing to design and engineer new models or performance related options very quickly whereas BMW muddles along hoping when the sun comes up the next day their competition will be gone! BMW doesn't seem to be able to react to what the buying public wants and what their competition is willing to offer. I'm afraid they have lost their focus, edge, desire and possibly the means to keep up.

Could BMW's Motorsport tradition be history? I hope not but it's obvious they have their problems.

BMW: What's wrong with you, the new colors SUCK.

1. Laguna Seca Blue - Smurf Blue
2. Imola Red - Why don't you call it Blemish Red
3. Fern Green - (Don't know, but could be Grinch color)
4. 2 Blacks - Never again, own a black car now.
5. Silver - Everyone gets silver
6. Phoenix Yellow - Heard someone call it Chartruese (sp?) too much like fishing tackle.

I'd like to see:

ASUS Blue (M5 Color)
Anthracite (M5 Color)
Chrome Shadow (I wish)

Please, get rid of the cartoon colors.

I'm #4 at Inskip, and I put my $1000 down two years ago
