Evolution of BMW M cars: dimensions (blueprints)

I loooove how close the 1M is to E30 M3 dimensions—it's so sad to see how big BMWs became.

This is great. Been saying it since day 1. This newest m3 is a lipstick on a pig. Its literally a 5 series. Stop calling it an m3/4. BMW just cant help themselves. Seems like Porsche has no problem sticking to their roots with regard to dimensions.

I mean, it's the same with most cars, if not with pure sports cars. Have a look at a new Civic, it's bigger than past Accords. It's unfortunate for performance, but it is what it is.

Love this photo. I didn't get BMWs until a high school took me for a spin in his 2002.
