Hey, question, what software did you use to change the colors of the car. I would like to do that too and try out some colors. -Thanks!

Any mocks up for San Marino blue?

I hope they offer it on the m4. starchild's m6 gran coupe made San Marino blue look like the car just came back from a HGH gym session.

Instant classic! I can feel it.

Amini77 · 08-16-2013, 09:17 PM

YESSSSSS..

I see them trying to bring back a kind of Phoenix Yellow too. Absolutely beautiful, at first I was skeptical but I really gotta hand it to BMW lol

Excuse my language, but holy shit. That is even better than I expected. Please tell me that the production version will look like that. You guys have outdone yourselves, and I will be buying one. That is one of the most menacing and beautiful cars I've ever seen.

These new generation of Ms are very complex and thus you have to question the longevity, read reliability, of this platform.

The exhaust on that M4 likely is optional upgrade just like the ceramic brakes on it. $$$$$

This will be the BEST M3 to date IMO. I have owned an E30, E36, E46 x2 and skipped the E90. Never like it. It did nothing for me personally. Please don't take that the wrong way but it was a miss for me. So I bought a 911 and an M5 over the past few years. This ///M is Amazing to me.

Anyone else think the lower front bumper is too busy??

I've wondered to myself about detailing it. Looks like lots of work to keep it clean.

As long as plastic is swapped with extended leather or alcantara, it would be perfect.

It does not look outdated. It has the classic BMW proportions and does not have the cheap plastics or poorly located HVAC/radio controls and a cheap looking center console.

Yes, extended leather would help a little but the overall design is more for a Honda or Nissan.

Every time I visit the dealership, the sight of an F30 just makes me vomit a little. Ergo, I cannot even sit in one. At the F30 launch party, I sat inside, and my reaction was classic, "NOPE, pass, that's just gross and Audi'ish."

It will prob be toned down in the production version.

Having skipped the E9X, I have to say, you have definitely missed out on the best M3 that has ever existed. Too bad really. May I ask why you never liked the E92? Specifically? Looks? Engine? Handling?

katsudon · 08-17-2013, 01:08 AM

this is kindda amazing!

but still, if only that hood line weren't there... this would've been even more amazing!

I still have no idea what hood line they're talking about. I don't see any problems with the hood lines at all.

Oh, and yes - that color is beyond awful. It looks like it was sponsored by Monster energy drink.
