I'll stick with my e46 M3. I think it looks better but the new one will eventually grow on me and with 420hp. I will have to upgrade

but é alloys are a little dated dont u feel... ...reminiscent of é E39 M5 alloy né

any idea of é other specs?

...a slightly sharper rear end and slightly more pronounced lines on é rear quater o é car would have made it look more sharp n M like IMO tail lights are a let down n are faaaar too dull n ordinary

They have killed the subtleness of the E46 engine bulge, apart from that the car looks nothing that special IMO, I agree with u lalithster, still like the 46, but its one of those things, time will catch up.

The wheels are the E46 latter edition wheels.( M style 163 cross spoke design - 19 inch) Looks like they have stuck with them for the concept, maybe the production model will have a different design. Have seen the coupe around. Looks pretty hot.

For me it's a case of "Nice legs, shame about the face"

Such a great spec and such a legen to follow......and still BMW persists with the absurd "styling". Because we know what an M3 is all about we'd probably like it anyway.....but still an opportunity missed.

The E30/36/46 M3s still look so much better designed!

when i look at it now i begin to think if its a tad OTT...é bulges a lil over kill.. ..but then again when u look at wut kinda power its chucking out i guess its not right for it to be all that subtle - previous M-Cars have been more about being understated performance machines - where as this new one is more about screaming how mean it really is...

might have something to do with the plug in - it didn't work on Opera till quite recently

aaahh that whole "e" with the accent was a long time ago - your right , it was a substitute for "the" - became such an eyesore and source of confusion for all and sundry that Fuzzo i think ended up opening up an entire thread asking me not to use it in my posts!! the request was echoed my a great many and so i heeded thier request
