Y'all like the new M3?

[MrElussive]

Anybody getting one? It looks pretty fugging hot, all the new 3-Series look better in person than they do in pictures, and that's a good thing. The new M3 looks amazing but the engine is mad mad mad low on torque. Not a fan of the whole "M Mode/Sport button" stuffs either.

I'm shooting for one, sooner or later (hopefully sooner).

Would love one, couldn't afford it though and certainly wouldn't try to now haha. They look quite good, one problem I find with the new coupes though is that they look kind of anonymous. From certain angles anyway. The front is great, looks very mean.

The only problem I have with the new ///M3, is that it isn't as aggressive looking as the E46. With the E46, when you saw the flared rear panels, and the oval side mirrors, you knew right away it was an M3. Now the 325i/328i sedan has oval side mirrors.

The engine is of course mad, mad hot, but I think BMW could have done more to separate the ///M3 from the E90 sedan, and coupe.

I'll take a 335xi instead, mod it, and I have a more powerful car.

i like the car, but i don't like the price tag... <shrugs>

 

[CosmosBlack]

I'd take one IF I can afford one...

Yeah, but you'll never have the 8,400-rpm V8.

dooshy100, I completely agree with you buddy. The E46 M3 looks like an absolute champ, a true race car...it was just such an amazing car for its time, and still is! The new M3 seems to be a lot sleeker and smoother and less "in your face". But so far the new 3-Series Coupes look so much hotter in person, so maybe the new M3 will look a whole lot more aggressive in person as well.

I really do not like how Audi and BMW use the Sport mode in a lot of their new cars, particularly the higher performance models. M and RS cars should be performing at their best all the time.

I think the new M3 will be incredible, more F1 technology = better M3

Eh so what? 7000rpm I6 TT will do me fine especially when I can have 100-200hp more than the new M3.

Yeah I definately like the new M3. Hopefully they'll have it at the SF or LA carshow later on this year.
