The Brand new BMW M3 with a big V8 engine in it!!! Very Happy










The colour looks much better in real life.

Personally I dont think they sound as nice as the E46 M3 and I think the E46 M3 just looks a bit better as well.

Oh yea, dont expect to see these on the road for about another 3 weeks.

Comparing the new E92 M3 to a Charger? Laughing

It may look nice sitting still, hell it may even have a decent quarter mile time but as a whole package.... Crying or Very sad

Right now anything short of the C63 AMG and E92 M3 cannot be touched, and yes they are ridiculously priced.

I have to agree with this one.

I don't really like BMW's, but the M3 on that pic is sexy.


I hate you.

My dad had one when i was a kid Smile

Actually, he has had a-freakin-lot of cars Very Happy

The new M3 is nice, though i don´t like the V8-idea. Sure, it´s probably a great engine, but for me, M3 stands for that awesome sound from a screaming straght six.

My favorite is also the E46.. i mean, you can´t argue with this..

Its out in a few weeks in the UK dont know about USA (maybe at a later date?)


Trust me, you dont want one in Black!!! their was a black one on the transporter going to another dealership and it looked no where near as good as the red one. You have to remember, these come standard with a Carbon Fibre roof, if you get a black version the Carbon fibre roof wont stand out.

oh yea, I work at a BMW dealership, I sign for about £500,000 - £1,000,000+ worth of cars a week Shocked Shocked

Ive been out in a M6, M5, Old shape M5, M3, Z4 M Roadster, Z4 M Coupe, Z3 M coupe, X5 4.8, 335i Twin Turbo etc etc Wink


Yea, American Muscle cars look nice but your engines are too big and use too much fuel etc Razz . German cars are the way to go Smile

Specs of teh new M3 -

Engine size: 3999cc
Fuel consumption: 22.8 mpg
0-62mph: 4.8 seconds
Top Speed: Limited to 155mph

take the limiter off and I guess it will easilly hit 200mph..


Max, heres a website for you to drool over Smile has Videos of the new M3 etc on plus check out the Hartge H50 (E46 M3 with the v8 M5 engine dropped in it!!!) - http://www.bmwheritage.com/index.php

I have to agree, E46 M3 looks and sounds better then the new one. They have done the same with the New M3 that they did with the New 4.8 X5 (made it too quiet).. If you compair the E46 coupe with the E46 M3 you can see a big differnce in looks but compair the new shaped coupe with the new m3 and its not realy that different.

Get one of these in Mint condition and its worth a fortune -

CSi was a cool car when i got a chance to seat in it.. for its time it was miles ahead of anything...

anyway i think 335i kind of took the wind out of M3's wings, it looks close to the m3 and with close to 350HP its a great bang for the buck.

Mercedes make great engines, just sad many die because of rust. Friend of mine told me about brad new Mercedeses that already have rusten screws (in the rims). Something about how they prosess their metal.

anyway, was about to buy a MR2, but to damn expensive to insure it when you are 19 Razz

collecting bonus on my own account, so dont want to buy a ubercar before im at least above 23...

This is what we will show on Frankfurt Motor Show in 2 weeks

Its not a Porsche maybe but she drives like one

Lancer EVO X

Quote:
new lightweight 2.0-liter turbocharged MIVEC*4 engine delivers 206 kw which translates to 280 PS or, 276 HP @ 6.500 rpm and a maximum torque figure of 422 Nm (311 lb.ft or 43.0 kgm) @ 3.500 rpm.


CONCEPT X



I am sure she will be a Need for Speed classic in no time Wink

Evo 1 to 6 were all rally-influenced, then from 7-10 they became more of a family-esque sportscar. Although i prefer the rally-style models, i still love the later Evo´s too. I also like the design of the X, but its really a far cry from what the Evo used to be, wich is a shame.

Now Cox, what did you worik with on the Evo X?
