SEMA 2017: BMW M3 30 Years American Edition (With Live SEMA Photos)

phyek · 10-31-2017, 11:53 AM

Rather drive a civic over this

JibSTir13 · 10-31-2017, 11:53 AM

It sure has garnered a lot of attention - mission accomplished.

That designer is no designer.
Any 3 year old could fill with three flag colors the seat pattern.

Could have some simple white interior with a discreet corner or some fine embossment in some areas.

Too busy, too colorful, too much.

Kitsch!

SEMA show piece or not, it's freaking hideous. I guess at this point it's easier to go tacky and get the "WTF?" comments than it is to make something that stands out in a good way.

I mean if you are BMW and are looking to americanize the M3 with a car you have no intention of producing why not drop in the M5 V8, a side output exhaust, tub it out with slicks and make it a drag car? V8 and going fast in a straight line, doesn't get more american than that.

Instead we got Evel Kneivel's closet turned into upholstery.

Dear G-d, absolutely disgusting. How in the world was this disgrace to the m3's approved! Hopefully they don't screw up the market for Jahre's

MightyMouseTech · 10-31-2017, 12:12 PM

OMG that is awful.

Did they make it smell like burger grease as well?

I thought the M Performance wing looked horrible on the M4 but it looks way worse on an M3

E9TOU · 10-31-2017, 12:53 PM

The interior reminds me of a 90's riced out civic. Wow!

Wiles · 10-31-2017, 12:59 PM

Please stop.

mrduder · 10-31-2017, 01:02 PM

Maybe we can convince this guy to buy it and then destroy it?

M5007 · 10-31-2017, 01:02 PM

This interior is a mess. What were they thinking!!!! You can do red, white and blue and make it look classy.

This looks like a botch job.

Yes!!! LOL

I'm glad BMW has the balls to do this.

This is the Macho T/A of our days.

pbw · 10-31-2017, 01:30 PM

Outside shots didn't look too bad, then i looked at the interior - oh dear! A brave attempt

Benzima · 10-31-2017, 01:43 PM

Maybe I am an outlier, but I kind of like this 1/1 USA Edition. Ticks all the box to appreciate in value for me: unique, all the options and manual.

Only time will tell.

I'm pretty confident that's the most offensively styled M3 in history, I'm colorblind and my eyes are still like W.T.F.?!
