I like it... I like it... I like it. lol...

Although sad because I was hoping for a 4-door M3 to come out this generation like the e36.

I wonder what differences the production version will have as opposed to this concept.

 

I read someplace that there will be a 4 door version released a year or two afterwards.

 

man that side view has won me over. That looks awesome.

hehe For Sale: IS350 3600 miles, smokey granite.

 

I like it, but then again see sn so I'm biased. Back bumper is the only feature I don't like the rear too much, but that back bumper can be changed. I like the rear add on spoiler.. Ahh damn, another mod!

This view actually looks better:

 

HMMM.. looks like im gonna have to start selling everything i own because i GOT TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE!!!

 

Looks nice but not as nice as the E46 M3. Unfortunately it is going to have a very similiar interior to the current downmarket 3 series. The E46 had a much nicer interior and much better then the current one, same goes for the last 5 series and the current downmarket 5 series interior. A 400hp+ v-8 will be nice but I don't even want to know what BMW is going to charge for a new v-8 M3, most likely over 60K maybe close to or over 70K once options and dealer mark up come to play. I do believe you go can avoid the expense and hastle of buying from a dealer and get BMWs pretty much straight from the factory for invoice. I think you have to go to Germany though to do it.

 

Will the new M3 be available for ED ??

 

For looks......wait for G35coupe.

For performance.....wait for GT-R.

For unmatched refinement.......wait for LF-A.

This M3 too girly, IS-F too Ricey.

 

Ahhh excuse me?!!

 

Girly? The bulge in the hood makes it look like muscle. You ad the hood and side functional vents and looks like it means business. Nice.

 

I see why your user name is RiceMaster. :P Just picking don't take anything personal..

However, I like this M3 very much. It isn't as boxy and has a bad *** stance to it. I like it VERY much. The bumper is Unique.. hey, just think, when you come across one of those without a doubt you'll be like "Wow.. thats the new M3!"

And for performance.. C6 Z06 allllllllllll the way.

 

Funny how the BMW forums were criticizing the IS-F for a hood bulge....

I like it, but its not as differentiated looking from the regular 3 as last generation was. Looks aside, its prolly gonna be one heckuva beast.

 

I agree, but I think M3s bulge is NOT big enough. I have even bigger hood bulge on my old Civic, and still not many people think it's muscle. I was referring to the rear and overall profile not being masculine enough. It's got Ricky Martins face and upper body, but Richard simmons legs and rear end.

 

If this is true, its something I would wait for.

 

I agree. The G35 coupe will probably look more masculine than the
M3 or the IS-F. We will see in a few weeks if that is the case. To
me this M3 does have a nice side profile, but that hump is a serious
eyesore. Originally I liked the quad exhausts, but now I think they're
too close together. Another downside for me are the
gunmetal rims with the one piece look . I'd prefer a brushed aluminum
2 or 3 piece look.
