The next M3 to be called M3

[Furious]

july issue of auto.

EWWWWW. IMO, that front end is hidious, I really like the E46 M3 look a lot better, they should just buffen the E46 look out, AHHH!!! I really am not liking the New M3's look, at all, and that rim design looks horrible on that model.

i still want one.

a bit of a shame to be moving away from the i6 after all this time but the earliers were 4s which gave way for the i6 now the v8 which will just be insane.

[Furious]

looks are only a rendering, the new M3 may or may not look like that. besides the new engine will have 400HP and they say the engine will be no heavier than the current inline 6, this car will be amazing. i just hope that BMW will make the suspension nice and aggressive. much more than the e46, and in doing this , id like to see the M3 back on the top of the list as the best handling car.

it will be ugly, but it will be fast so...

Even if the looks arent that great, AC Schnitzer, and whoever else can take care of those problems pretty damn quick.

[Torque]

true, but not everyone feels like spending additional few grand on top of the 50+ they paid.

It's an amazing look, can I order one?? The way they go for the V8 now is because of the competition between BMW - Audi - Mercedes-Benz. This car really rocks

I like the angle in Dutch's magazine a little better. I dunno, I still love the e36 body.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!
whats the point of a smart girl if she isnt HOT?

and who wants "fast and ugly"?

if u say it quickly. . . . .

[Numark318i]

well I still like the original E30...but i guess thats just me. Im not likig the new body style...to overdone. Before BMW was simple yet beutiful(cant spell), nont it seems like they ran out of ideas, so they just threw i some curves.

[spiff325is]

agreeing with Numark, I like the look of E30 M3 over the new new new 2005 M3. but thats ME, IMO. new M3's(o5's) are loking too much like other cars, and not enough like a BMW.

[bimmer_boy]

Are you kidding? I love the e30-e46 designs. Sure the new design is different..

BUT! .. and this is a big BUTT!!! :P



ALL NEW DESIGNS ARE MOSTLY DISLIKED AT FIRST! IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME THEY RELEASE A NEW MODEL!

I personally remember hating the new look of the 99 mustang when the body style changed. Do you know why? I wasn't used to it.

We reject things that are unfamiliar to us! Give it time and I'm sure we'll learn to love it just like every other design..


PS I'm starting to love the new 5 series already!

[Speedy-325is]

I STILL hate the 99 Mustang!


and the 2000, the 2001, 1999,1998,. ect., ect. ect.....
