^^ Great catch.

Holy crip! I assume that's a BMW official driving it?

Kinda glad to see that in silver it's not quite as overdone as the demo press car we saw before.

Well those plates seem yellow to me, but I could be wrong. It seems unlikely that BMW has a car on dutch plates, normally they even give their staff or journalists cars with Munich plates.
Where was that anyway?

The new M3

Kip_6666 · July 6th, 2007, 09:00 AM

It did have dutch plates i think.
And it was taken in a dutch city called Hilversum, might have been driven by someone from the local BMW dealership.

At first I wasn't sure it was the M3, but after comparing the details from this site:
http://www.leftlanenews.com/bmw-m3.html
Everything seems to match up, even the little m3 badge in the air vent to the unusual bonnet and the side mirrors.

And the sound, wow. At idle it sounded like a f1 engine, not as loud of course

But the same kind of tone, thank god it wasn't like the m5 diesel sound.

Sorry, all phone pictures so terrible quality.

Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster. What a car. There was a DB9 right after it, but I had put my phone away.

Brand new Cayenne S. 1) Why not the Turbo? 2) Why not a Range Rover or something?

Lotus Esprit

bartboy9891 · July 6th, 2007, 10:56 PM

A Turbo costs nearly double what an S costs and Range Rovers have a tendency of breaking down quite often.

Donington · July 7th, 2007, 12:44 AM

That's an interesting two-car house, a Cayenne and a 107!

I would sooo get a Toureg over a Cayenne. Much better looking, doesn't come with the 'twat' image...

How nice to have one in my humble hometown, just north of the artic circle then.

Shawn · July 7th, 2007, 10:44 AM

Oh for sure... they're not that rare I guess, but I think it looks so good. I'd have it in the reverse colour combo. Like mostly white with a little red.

flamingice · July 7th, 2007, 11:01 AM

Nice spot with the M3!

Shawn, not sure what resolution you wanted the picture, so I've just put it up in full res.

Shawn · July 7th, 2007, 11:04 AM

I was just about to post my new desktop in the desktops thread.

Thanks so much Craig! It looks kick-ass.

Mischief007 · July 7th, 2007, 03:35 PM

This made me sad, but I love the Corvette:

Donington · July 7th, 2007, 04:06 PM

I just love that version of the Vette in silver. Shows off all the curves.

Shawn · July 7th, 2007, 08:31 PM

C1, C3... anyone spot a C2?
