The "It's Good But it'd be Great if..." thread

[klier]

That's what I say, only differently It was just a joke btw Martin

[martinbo]

Of course I know it was a joke silly. I was just being droll.

Right it's time to have some fun with protest.

The BMW X1: It's Good but it'd be Great if it didn't have all that f@$king black tape all over it.



The new BMW X1 opens an exciting niche for compact, premium, lifestyle vehicles. It ought to drive better than a RAV4 and have a better interior than a Forester. It may even look really good if it wasn't always covered up?

I mean really, this car's been out for months; we've seen concept pics, driving through the mud pics, nightclub wallpaper clad pics. close-up detail pics, brown car pics, fat tummy beach babe blurry pics.
Sweet mercy BMW how about getting off the toilet, pulling up your pants and getting back to your desk to do some honest marketing?

The new Audi A5 Sportback: It's Good but it'd be Great if it didn't make my eyes go all spotty.



Sheesh, do BMW and Audi use the same stategic marketing team? Protracted release? Even elephant have quicker gestation periods.

The BMW Z4 M Coupe. It's Good, but it'd be Great if it were still in production.



Damn! I miss this car. Here it's shown in the now vogue-ish and obligatory brown and it still looks as fresh as a daisy in my opinion. If you have an extra garage and you can afford a well-looked after example, then I'm of the opinion that you'll have a very special car for decades to come. It's a helluva lot of car for the money, which I've said before. Still, deserves to be remembered and I thought I'd put this, never-to-be-repeated, piece of exquisiteness in here. Without question, one of my dream cars.

So true…

…same with this car. Most stunning Z4 ever build…: Alpina Roadster S

…"It's Good, but it'd be Great if the engine would have reached the Euro4 norm."

The AUDI RS4 is Great but if the engine actually made 414 bhp on the dyno instaed of 390bhp on average it would be AWESOME.

The RS4 has a known problem with coking of the cylinder head that reduces BHP. If AUDI admitted it and cam up with a solution itd have the edge on the new M3 (flame suit on)

The BMW 5 series E60: It's Good, but it'd be great if: It had more attention to detail!



The BMW E60: Yes, it's probably the best car to drive in its class, but this is not enough. On paper, it is/was not as safe as it should be, plus it's minimalistic interior design is/was not for everyone's taste. Sure, the facelift adressed some interior design and quality issues, but it was not enough to make this car the king of its class. Those little details, could have been more carefully examined. The E60 could be the best car of the world. Just like the E39 was...

Actually Giannis i think that the issue of not polishing enough the product is something that the whole V1 bangle gen suffered from, staring with the E65 and coming to an end when the E70 came out.
