Plus ///M4 engine view and other BMW cars.
Unfortunately less time for me that day.

P.S.: Pics with my phone.

I don't appreciate that the M235i has the same steering as a 80k M3 or a 110k M6.

Great pics. Thanks.

Do you know whether the M6 was (frozen) Sakhir Orange?

[signes]

Looks move like overexposed frozen red.

I think you are correct, I have been an SO connoisseur as of late. Traveling to dealers to see it on M6 and M5s. I really want to do SO with a SS interior

It doesn't have the M-colored stitch though

It's good to know that the HUD can be selected separately it at least that is what I am reading.

You'll be happy to know it's not the same.

Had to laugh -- I've been doing the same! Order is currently for SO w/ black interior. BMW of Freehold has an SO M6 on the floor...

The black wheels look better in these pics than any others I have seen, but I really hate both versions of the 19s.

[imserious]

Great pics!

I hope the HUD shows shift lights with a manual gearbox also. that would be awesome.

[positiveions]

Interesting.

Pics look great. The HUD display looks a bit too small though. The speedo appears to get squished from what I have in my 550... and looks a bit harder to read at that size. Maybe I need to see it in person.

[shivaswrath]

Holy detailed pics-u rock, and thank you for M3 boners...

[bradleyland]

These photos are fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to get the framing and focal length correct. A lot of people stand too close and use full wide-angle. The results are really distorted photos. These are great!

[soolman32]

Great pictures and thanks for sharing. Love the new M3. It has me wondering if I can live with a rwd car through the MN winters...

I didn't notice that until now... Wonder if it's due the lighting.

Yup, that pic sealed it for me. I like the M3 a lot better than the M4.

Rear quarter panels on the M4 are too long, makes the wide body look less aggressive. I don't like how the body line runs into the tail light on the M4. On the M3 the body line meets the side angle in the tail light perfectly. The M4 tail lights are too rounded off, the M3 tail lights look better with the sharper angles.

Best description that mirrors my thoughts. You hit the nail in the head. M3 looks much better from the rear. The angle I'm least fond of is the side profile and yet I still prefer it over the M4. Nothing a little less wheel gap couldn't fix. Imagine that rear AW with a CF diffuser....perfect.

I love the sports HUD it is a must have. one of the main reasons im getting an M4 instead of anything else
