the e46 csl concept it hardly changed before it went into production though? Those rims on it are sh!te but it looks like a baby M6 which i don't think it should! Looks sweet though

Dont like that at all. The bonnet vents look like they've come straight from a corsa at a kroooz and the rest of the car looks like all new bmw's do... FAT. (as in overweight, not as in 'thats wikkid phat innit bruv')

This M3 will be awsome, it's the biggest selling M power wagon they build and bmw just simply can't afford to get it wrong

Now if the V10 is anything to go by this lastest version is going to be a hoot aswell!

e46 was performance motor of the year in three 3l class for six years running,
im pretty sure those M gineers have high goals that they will achieve

has to be the most exiting launch of the year
not only for us, but across the board

The car will be undeniabley awesome if the most recent Mpower cars anything to go by and the fact that the e46 M3 is legened so will have a hard act to folow. To me it looks dam near perfect and would love one in black or grey.

They cant just chop two cylinders off, although i have heard it will be a V8 also, not sure if they would use an s62 though?

the car looks ok but they are just getting heavier and heavier, i think this one is nearly 1600kg! :cry:

I heard on the grape vine.(i have contacts) That chaos kicked up a fuss at the zonda dealer, because they didnt have the towbar option.

Poor chap, a man of his stature needs his burgers! zonda philistines!!
