The fact that the Model 3, a clean-sheet design that's only been on the market for 18 months, wins the comparison with the car/line that BMW has had decades to perfect is the most telling aspect. |
In the world of automobile journalism, this is old news.
In reality though, the 3 series, and automotive technology in general, has changed so much since it's inception, and teams of engineers have come and gone at bmw and every other manufacturer, so I don't think it's completely accurate to say that bmw has had decades to fine tune the 3 series. It assumes a nice neat, linear continuity that doesn't really exist. For one example, all it takes is a newer manufacturer to poach an engineer from a more "experienced" brand's team, and they acquire a fair bit of that wisdom and experience. |
Well said!
