looks pretty legit to me...first pic looks like carbon roof, but that could just be lighting since the color also looks darker red but brighter in the second...third pic seats look good, but a bit disappointed, not vented & may not be multifunction, like the button to move the seat fwd/bwd....looks great hopefully & we already knew we would have the console running all the way to the rear...

The wheels look so SMALL!!!

yeah they do, the more I look at the pics the more I'm starting to doubt...bmw website has nothing & the third pic looks too official, while the other two could be that it was caught in action at the ring' but again prob PS I have to much doubts....arrrrgggg I'm tired of waiting...

edit: No more doubts its the real deal

Phoenix 21st · 04-03-2007, 08:00 AM

still, it looks nice, however i agree the seats could be slightly better. Wheels are definately too small.

Just_me · 04-03-2007, 08:02 AM

So guys , how much money do you want to bet that this is fake?

iPhil · 04-03-2007, 08:30 AM

Yeah I saw them on a Dutch site aswell, posted them @ E90post.

Just_me · 04-03-2007, 08:51 AM

According to the info, the new M3 gets CF roof. the new V8 engine drinks 8% less fuel than the old M3 E46 engine. Impressive I must say.

Manz_UK · 04-03-2007, 08:51 AM

E90Fleet · 04-03-2007, 09:37 AM

bullitt5897 · 04-03-2007, 09:42 AM

hks786 · 04-03-2007, 09:55 AM

No

Woms · 04-03-2007, 10:00 AM

Totally agree. Not a PS.

Uncertain about the brakes being 6 and 4 pots though. Simply cannot tell from those photos. No doubt the hi-res images will be released very soon.

They must be breaking a press embargo then, because BMW havent released them to the public

bullitt5897 · 04-03-2007, 10:13 AM

Yep, I remember someone saying that both holes would not be used in the normal M3, only the CSL, so that fits.

RandyB · 04-03-2007, 11:42 AM

Wow, looks great even in Imola Red. I agree - the 18s look tiny. I'll be having the concept wheels if offered.

MI6 · 04-03-2007, 01:06 PM

Not really liking the red or the bland gray interior..........

Black on black will do just fine..........with the 19's of course........and tint...
