Seven-speed M Double Clutch Transmission (M DCT) with DRIVELOGIC
We can also announce the introduction of seven-speed M Double Clutch Transmission (M DCT) with DRIVELOGIC. This class-leading BMW M transmission provides the BMW M3 with a decisive advantage over its competitors through its provision of uninterrupted power delivery when shifting from one gear to another. This engineering innovation from BMW M has been achieved by combining the function of two gearboxes into one unit. M DCT employs two clutch packs which, for the first time in a car in this class, allow the process of disengaging one gear and engaging another to overlap.

They've lost the plot
50k for a performance saloon car - why not buy a proper sports car that delivers more performance. I doubt that would hold a candle to something like a Cayman-S in the real world on a real road.
And its FUGLY compared to the last one!

Do not see the point in an M3 or M6 convertible. Also hate 911 turbo convertibles as well for the record!

have you ever owned a convertable mate?
You got the Turbo yet? please lower it when you do. Looks like one of Kev Sharps offroaders in that picture!

The latest 3 series hasnt grown on me yet... As most people i prefer the E46 (And own one )
The profile of it with the roof up looks like a patchwork quilt
Looks like someone cut a photo of it up and then pieced it back together
I would have a dark colour so the panel gaps wouldnt stand out so much!

looks a bit like a old honda civic coupe from behind..... the roof looks terrible, and apart from that, the M3 Model dont really look much different to the lower base models....... ....which still look horrible

Ive seen the new M3 coupe in white and i thought it was pure stunning...
Im not a huge fan of white cars but I feel the m3 pulls it off brilliantly, however, don't think white works for the M3 convertible in this instance..
either those shots are shite, or theres to many visable lines/panel joins.
Carbon black with a red leather however i think you could be on to a winner.
Now get those pics up Maria, not going to sell them stuffed in bmw's desktop fillers.
