Post Tue Mar 06, 2007 9:54 pm

concept though

will more than likely not end up totally like that

Post Tue Mar 06, 2007 9:57 pm

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

I spy cup tyres!

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')

BMW e36 M3 owners 8yrs ago

its to "ricey"... why 4 exhausts!! not sure about the silver side gills, looks over done.. what's with that hood bulge!...cars to big... im keeping my e36!

And we all remember how that turned out!!!!!!!!!

Post Thu Mar 08, 2007 6:48 pm

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!

Post Thu Mar 08, 2007 7:23 pm

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.

Would have loved to see it in the flesh. It looks

Post Sun Mar 11, 2007 7:39 pm

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!

Post Sun Mar 11, 2007 8:08 pm

Its a V8 based on the V10 in the M5

It produces 414bhp

He's one of the biggest car dealers in Cardiffstan. Literally. Diablos, F360, you name it he's either driven it of has 6 on order..........

........yea, right.

Post Tue Mar 13, 2007 10:48 pm

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!!

Post Tue Mar 13, 2007 11:24 pm

No Jon that was the Veyron. He's already got a Zonda and Witter did a custom 'bar for it last year.
