Re: Official Information + Images: BMW M3 V8

Awesome Thanks for the new page! Now all I'm waiting for are the US prices!
 
Re: Official Information + Images: BMW M3 V8

Thanks!! The M3 also have a power button - great! :D White looks like one of the best colours for this coupé, but I think this car is also extremely hot, when it is black coloured.
 
Re: Official Information + Images: BMW M3 V8

will there be an automatic? or only manual?

manual but in MArs 2008 there will be a new gearbox called ZSG, kinda like Audis DSG but better and more advanced ;)
 
Re: Official Information + Images: BMW M3 V8

The white looks much better, are weels different ?
 
Re: Official Information + Images: BMW M3 V8

im very intrested in Jerez Black, its black colour with blue in it. Sounds delicisious.

Also there is 4 different seats to choose between, I wonder how they look like :eusa_thin
 
Re: Official Information + Images: BMW M3 V8

It looks gorgeous in white, especially with that carbon fiber roof. Thx, andreas.
 
Re: Official Information + Images: BMW M3 V8

There is a great video that goes along with the Dubai pictures (Alpine white) including as well as the Autodrome, that famous highway and the M3 all alone with the straights and curves ... Watch out for the Iceland pictures on the media pool the glaciers against Alpine white gives off a very interesting shade of Blue...
 
Re: Official Information + Images: BMW M3 V8

Thanks for putting everything together JM!

Everything needed clearing up!
 
Re: Official Information + Images: BMW M3 V8

The white on it hot. Not feeling the black CF roof, hopefully one can get it painted in body color at no extra charge. Is CF strong enough for there to be a sunroof option?

^^^^ IM SOLD!

This car came out awesome! Those Shots from Dubai are simply spectacular with the optional 19s! It seems that the CF interior we saw on the concept version may well be for the futre CSL version.

Its actually come out much better then I had anticipated. I was hoping that ///M would have atleast come out with a new design for the shift knob instead of using that old recycled design.
 
Re: Official Information + Images: BMW M3 V8

White looks like one of the best colours for this coupé
The new MB C-Class also looks great in white. It seems like white is becoming a trend colour again.:cool:

Oh man, have you ever seen an M6 in black? You kinda have to be paying attention to notice that the roof is CF. I'm sure it'll be the same for the M3. I promise you, and you can mark my words, this car will be come a classic. I've already gotten used to the E92 M3 design.
 

BMW M

BMW M GmbH, formerly known as BMW Motorsport GmbH, is a subsidiary of BMW AG that manufactures high-performance luxury cars. BMW M ("M" for "motorsport") was initially created to facilitate BMW's racing program, which was very successful in the 1960s and 1970s. As time passed, BMW M began to supplement BMW's vehicle portfolio with specially modified higher trim models, for which they are now most known by the general public. These M-badged cars traditionally include modified engines, transmissions, suspensions, interior trims, aerodynamics, and exterior modifications to set them apart from their counterparts. All M models are tested and tuned at BMW's private facility at the Nürburgring racing circuit in Germany.
