2008 M3

[Drewe30e]

I'll have to admit that I like the new e90's. The tail lights are not great but the lines are not as extreme as the rest of Bangle's designs. Although the new m3 (or is it m4 for the 2 door?) will have a V8, it won't be that much heavier due to the new magnesium block. The change in heritage from the inline six is upsetting but in order to stay competitive with Audi and other makers who are taking the wind from their sails, they have to increase displacement. In general, I like the new design Thumbup. However, I've seen so many "accurate" photos of the new m3 that I don't know what is true.

I don't like it...I would rather have a E36 M3 of all BMWs...looks the best.

I dunno, I think I'm more upset with the change in heritage from the 4-cylinder to the inline-6 :lol:

I personally hate the new look, Chris Bangle has taken a classic looking car and turned into some sort of hybrid euro/japanese-looking monstrosity. I'd be interested to see if the longivity of this design lives up to the legacy of the earlier pre-Bangle models. If i really cared, i'd be pissed. :wink:
And what's with the new bling bling around the kidneys? Bah.
I like the e46 M3 better, even if it does have birthing hips.
