Looks ok, can't say I like it better than the E46... yet.

EDIT: More of the same

I like it but it looks like an IS250, the e46 was a sexy car.

Concept nothing. Those pedals have wear. Expect it to look 99% like this in production. Maybe minus the hood vents, which are too Subaru for my liking.

I actually think it's pretty sexy.

But I couldn't stop laughing at that driver who looks like he's 4'6.

 

[Hyperlite]

sick sick SICK! beautiful. i love the interior, very simple and carbon-fiber. and a straight 6spd to boot. lets hope its a better tranny than the new 6spd M5.

BMW have a history of faking CF for the interior. I hope you are right.

I don't dig the bulge in the hood. Reminds me of a Talon. Also don't dig the fish look on the front. Looks like it has its mouth wiiiide open. I bet it will go like hell though!

 

[MmmSkyscraper]

I don't like the back end or the vents (WTF are they about) but I wouldn't say no either

hmm, that would be tacky. then again, you wouldn't ever really know. But the principle stands.

ok just ordered 2.

I used special 75$ off coupon but they are killing me on shipping.

 

[halik]

by far the best bangle model yet, I'm glad they tied his hands behind his back on the 3 series. M5 = puke

 

[Shyatic]

Honestly it can be a great car, but I want to know how much it weighs. If they increased the weight and added power, the car will not be as good as the E36. So far that's the best M3 in my opinion. And mind you, I owned the E46 too

Popular opinon is that the E36 M3 was the poorest of the 3 built so far.

 

[R Nilla]

Is it me, or is there a giant grease spot on the headrest?

 

[MisterJackson]

It could do without the fugly steering wheel. other than that it's good to go!

I got behind a guy in a new M5 last night that kept grinding gears on take off ....I felt like removing him from his car and bitch slapping him.

If you are concerned about the weight, you need to drive an E30 M3, because the E36 M3 is definitely not the "best" in the dynamic department.

The E92 M3 above will probably weigh the same if not more than the E46 which was at a portly 3400 lbs. I would gauge that the new M3 will undercut that by 50lbs at the most, as the 335i already weighs 3500+

 

[Aharami]

man they made whale mouth come true

 

[Goosemaster]

hideous.

 

[Cobalt]

I like it. :thumbsup:

 

[her209]

Bangle also designed the E46, which I prefer, but I agree this is the best-looking of the obviously Bangled BMWs. IMO the new 3-series coupe is a handsome car, and the M3 even more so. The sedan is still ugly, though.

 

[Koing]

It looks really good apart from the front mouth and the 'power dome'. It looks crappy. The shape doesn't fit with the rest of teh bonet imo. But overally I like the shape and the little details
