Revealing M3 photo
This photo almost does it for me. Was on the fence with concerns about the "bulge" and the weak front bumper. Also, was really concerned about the rear fenders not being flared enough.
I think this photo shows just how "tough" this car will look in person. It just makes the car look like a monster, really wicked. Like it knows it's gonna rape you. You can see the rear flared out too. |

Looks like Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires... standard on the 997 GT-3, it's an r-compound track tire not really suitable for heavy street driving...
edit: btw, does anyone know if that is a new silver color or is it sparkling graphite (or whatever they call it now)? |

I thought they looked familiar. Good gawd how I would love an e92 M3 daily and GT3 weekend car... Those are really the only cars that do anything for me right now.

I have another question... the "concept M3" looks lowered to me... do you guys think this is stock ride height? It looks very nice and I hope they don't change that..... |

P.S. My prediction (way back when) was 275/35-19. Not to far off. Last edited by swamp2; 03-07-2007 at 11:36 PM.. Reason: Added P.S. |

Hi, this is my first post here.
I just came from our dealer. He is just doing the "Ersthändlerausstattung" for the M3. That means he is ordering the dealer car for display in the showroom. I saw some specs: Tires back: 265/40 18" Tires front 245/40 18" 19" are optional CFK Roof is standard Xenon 6 Speed manual (no DSG available at the moment) 8 Colours will be available (some grey shades, white, black and a very redish colour) Leather is optional As soon as I have more details I let you know. :-)) |

Not like last time
This is not the way it worked with the E46 M3 launch ALL dealers (at least in the US) got the exact same color car, Laguna Seca Blue. I suspected that it might be white this time since Scott has mentioned that the first photo shoots for media purposed by BMW advertising were done with a white car. So either things have changed, they don't all have to be the same color in Germany, or your dealer is wrong or BS-ing.
