I don't know if it's across the entire lineup, but I know BMW offers a badge delete option on some of its cars, at least.

I'm not usually a fan of the blacked-out look, but that thing is sinister.

^ I really like the new 3 series touring. But I spec'd one that way I'd want it (besides the i6TT + 6MT 
) and it was nearly $60k. 
ON A 3 SERIES! 
) and it was nearly $60k. ON A 3 SERIES!

^ The days of "cheap" 3-Series are way gone, methinks.

So, with the pricepoint much higher, it does separate out the herd a bit...and allow those who want an "affordable" BMW to go buy a 1 or 2-Series?

Well, in SOME ways, I could see this as a positive in the long run as for awhile, the 3-Series was a dime-a-dozen car to be honest.

Sure the fawk wished BMW made the M5 and M6 cars "affordable".

If everyone had an M5 or M6...I think there would be world peace. No one would be angry.

Indeed. During dinner last night, my 8-year old son blurted out - "Wouldn't it be awesome if M5s were only $5?! I bet Dad would have one again!"

Yep. Good kid. Looking out for his Dad.
Sunday night, I helped him assemble this wooden pull-back car kit from Lowes he needed to do for Cub Scouts. Instead of using the stickers that came with the car, he went out to the garage to look at my car and used crayons to "paint" his car to match mine, complete with hand-drawn roundels on the front and back. Made me proud.

M6GC. I want one with a 6MT. I think it's BMWs best current design.They are though. Just wait for the first schmuck to run his warranty out and they'll be just as expensive as a loaded Accord

DAMN! For not much more than $60k you can get a CTS-V wagon. More power, more fun, more character, and more room than a 3-series tourer. The 3 tourer is nice-looking, though. Just not $60-70k nice.

(well, 'cept the part where Pops doesn't know what a Porsche 911 GT1 is...
) I hope my son is like that when he's that age...
