I like that chopped carbon look. I think I like it better than the weave.

The rear end of the car looks super sick. Reminds me a little of the X5M. The taillight design looks super sick. But the front is just disgusting.
"Forged Carbon Fiber"
I think it's actually called chopped carbon. That's what Aston calls it, at least.

I miss the classic slats. What's with this 'star' design? It looks like something one might buy at advance auto parts.

AMG or M

Well i always did like the A series in its AMG format but never liked the mercedes quality of cars so this would have been a good choice of car if i was about 10 years younger.

To me both the audi s3 and merc look much better because they have more classic lines that will look good in time. BMW looks like a training shoe or a pinata. Add lots of useless stuff.
I do understand the logic to tap in all markets for profit. There will be bmw busses and trucks soon.
However for a bmw thinking of their heritage to sell pinatas with m badges, the brand loses their tradition.

I don't care if it is. I don't agree with those people, BMW, or them parts on a 1 series with a haldex AWD.

Keep your M140i as long as you can, because you own the last inline 6 in a BMW hatch...
The new ones are not aiming at those customers anymore that like performance hatches, hence the switch to FWD focused AWD and only 2.0 4 cylinders now...

Your car is a keeper ;-)
