Will you be able to get inside as well? Or is it going to be taped off? I'd love to see some good pictures of the dash and stuff... :p

I can't wait to see the new M4... are they actually going to call it the M4 or are they going to stick with 3?

They better damn-well let me in the cars. If not; I'll get pictures of the M3/M5/M Roadster's etc that are in the lot. Not gonna have an M6 yet, though.

Yay for sure, let us know what you think of the M6 in person. I was less then impressed by the externals but the internals would make any man drool.

Only see punks driving it who think they're the 'shizzle'

At least they break down quite often get to see fewer of them on the road in the future :)

What do you drive?

01 S-Class, 05 Cayenne Turbo, 95 maxima (ultimate beater), closing a deal on a 02 911 Turbo sometime next week.

DivideBYZero: I wouldn't mind a 360CS/360 Spyder but the maintainence costs on that thing would kill me..... Pricing wise its not that bad but factor in maintaining that car over 2-3 years and your hit by reality

Your joking right? In standard BMW tradition its a bland interior. Not that porsche is much better, but at least I dont claim the interior to be spectaculor :p

I actually like the exterior I'd give it a 7.5/10 granted it shares the 911s C pillars arch but its a very unique car not like most things you see on the road today.

Im guessing he means the engine? Anyway, my father got his e90 320i touring today. I JUST came back from a test drive. Set us back about $60k , god bless 120% car tax... M5 would cost ya some $130k

Yea, I've thought BMW's interiors were always plasticky...don't know why people like them so much :confused:

The engine is a work of art but like most art I bet its also super fragile. The M3s where plagued with an exploding engine syndrome and a numerous number of E39 M5s as well. This new V10 will be no different. Its on the absolute limit of what an engine can be pushed at.

Besides that as good as the engine is it can't disguise the fact that its a gigantic porker in the corners.

logic1485: I think most people like it because its 'driver orientated'. I always hated the touch and feel of the buttons though. I like the new 7s interior though except for the fact that iDrive will make you want to run out screaming.
