captint Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 yup, it will be wasting plenty of people, wll be interesting to see it aganst the RS4 as no proper stats have been released yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Should be sub 5 sec tho for 0-60 surely? Is there a price yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy7766 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I can't stand the new body shape on the 3 series, it's sooooooo boring Even in M mode it just looks pants. There's nothing distinctive about that car.....esp when the basic model will be £45k ish before you've put the stupid list of optional extras like "steering wheel" "seats" and "engine" that BM don't fit as standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revsport Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I like that alot. Looks evil Lew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkfish Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 That'll be ferocious!! Good hike in power. I'd still rather have an RS4 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Doesn't matter how much power they have, they still only block the outside lane at 70mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Doesn't matter how much power they have, they still only block the outside lane at 70mph That was Comedy Jacko. Don't worry ladies and gents - he's here all week! :kicking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I quite like it, and I still stand by my statement that it'll be like every other M3; looks dodgy when it first comes out but it'll be a grower I'm sure. Theres shades of the new Z bonnet going on there too. LMAO at the shot with the guy driving tho - he shouldn't be allowed to test cars driving like that!! Looks like an old lady driving - 'screen lickers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I quite like it. Not something Id ever buy but it looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkfish Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 LMAO at the shot with the guy driving tho - he shouldn't be allowed to test cars driving like that!! Looks like an old lady driving - 'screen lickers!! Totally. I noticed him too. It's like "Ok, today's experiment: We're gonna put a complete dork in the new M3 and see what happens."

rmmackfc Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Nice, that is quite a jump in power....still prefer the RS4 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl114 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I cant stand it, it looks plain, boring and unoriginal, similar to Porsche! DO something new and i may be interested, however the 6 series is the nicest looking BMW i have ever seen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Should be sub 5 sec tho for 0-60 surely? Is there a price yet? 4.5 secs 0-60 and the price has gone up 8k over the last one. Same price now as a RS4 car £50. Auto express quoted £50,225 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same price now as a RS4 car £50. Auto express quoted £50,225 That is mad performance but again, no way i would pay that for this car!

Kev946 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 All been done on the BMW forums. The surprising thing is the weight is now only 60kg light than my 650i, so a lot heavier than the old M3. Most of the BMW purest think it's simply keeping up with the jone's, i.e. the RS4 having a V8. Also the £50k price tag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_fuel Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 It is a V8 block, which does weigh more than a 6 cyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev946 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 It is a V8 block, which does weigh more than a 6 cyl. The car as gained something like 200kg and the V8 is claimed to be lightest in class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
