Yeah my dentist has an e46 m3 in that yellow....it REALLY sticks out. Those e46s are STILL going for a lot.

Don't ruin the party newr. We haven't even heard about comparisons on the rear seat arm rest, the cup holder size and shape, and the opening angle of the glove box yet

I had an ephipany on the way to work today......I was listening to my V-8 and it just seriously occured to me that the M3 will now have a V-8. And its a coupe.

Suddenly, I like this car

I can look over some details like that. you gotta be real picky to talk about those when it comes to a performance car like M3.

But, don't forget about the windshield washer fluid and gas tank cap, they make a world of a difference.

Step 1:
Choose a different color and forget about the interior.

Marketing photo but interior doesn't look bad here, look at those seats!












I can't wait to see the car in the other //M specific colors such as Interlagos Blue and Silverstone II.

I swear, it gives me goose bumps looking at those pictures!

I love AW M3! What a difference (compare to those ugly red pictures)!!!!

Love it

I take back whatever I said earlier, and who cares it has a taxi grade interior that looks uglier than a pile of dump.

I LOVE IT!

Close your eyes and listen:

Check out the commercial:

(I went to BMW Model Overview, picked the new M3 Coupe, and then clicked more information).

It really is night and day difference. I guess the E92 looks better with light color. Maybe because lighter color makes the line less obvious in picture?

And yet they STILL cost more than the competition!

Remember, the discounts you are discussing are in lease rates - which coupled with one of the top residuals in the luxury market, make them very nice to lease and buy.
