Is that the V8 one?

personally i think they look far to placid.

Think they needed a few more agressive external mods like the e46 m3.

maria, u sorted those details out sweetie?

Nice car. but would i fuck pay Ł50k for one!

the old shape m3 CS was under Ł44k!

Ok, its got a V8 and 414bhp but its going to limited to 155mph.

the new C63AMG should be better than both the M3 and the RS4.

Hasnt floated my boat this one to be honest. I think BMW have lost the plot.

the car is waay too expensive. M3 for M5 money IMHO.

Also - from what I have read, refined like an M5 as well.

so where is the M3?

The E46 was an absolute beast of a car. The new one just hasnt got me excited at all.

Roll on RS4 till BMW get their act together.

All above my opinion of course.

That looks far better than in red. Those are the first decent shots of it.

I'm sure like all M3's it'll be superb but I'm just not keen on how this new one looks, especially from the front. The E46 looks about spot on in my opinion.

It's all by the by though as I certainly won't be able to afford one for a while

Im sorry but I think they look very mediocre,not what I was expecting from BMW at all, yeah it will be a lovely car but I always said from the day it was released that the E46 was gonna take some beating next time round and by the looks of it I was right , it just looks like a smaller M5 which I cannot stand the shape of to start with .
As said above it just doesnt look aggresive enough y know.
Knew I would be right about the 46 though
