Another New E92 BMW M3 Picture

MPowered · January 30th, 2007, 5:35 PM

I know car design is completely subjective, but I'm not liking how the new M3 is turning out. This latest picture that shows how the mirrors will look just adds to the weirdness (I think) of the overall design. I like the base coupe's design better.

Sorry, that other thread was getting a little long. Can the 2 be merged?

This one is still quite heavily camo-ed

I saw one of these at the MINI-center in Munich (which, quite oddly, is where a lot of the BMW prototypes go for repairs/checks/etc) and I´m pretty sure the weird little things on the mirrors were just put there on purpose to confuse people...

btw: this looks a lot like the resting area on the A8 at the Chiemsee... odd place to stop with a prototype as there is neither fuel nor toilets to be found, but instead a lot of tourists with cameras enjoying the view of the lake...

Is that a hood scoop...

Ford Prefect · January 30th, 2007, 6:27 PM

possible, but I highly doubt it...

the further we get from E30 the less I like them.

Ford Prefect · January 30th, 2007, 7:24 PM

I disagree...

Although the E30 M3 is somewhere in my personal-coolest-cars-ever-made-list, I think the E36 was just plain boring, while the E46 is definitely somewhere in the list as well...

BMW has a general sort of cool-boring-cool-boring tendency, so the next 3 series should probably be cool again...

Thats looks like a boring design.

If its like every other M, it should age superbly.

Thats great, when you all hate it there are more M3s left for me.

That is the only way for the new M3 to be cool. But it won't. images/smilies/biggrin.gif
