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

spuntyb · 10-31-2017, 06:34 AM

I'm a sucker for most reds and I love FRM II on this. Love the wheels too. I need those in my life.

The rest of it is a dumpster fire.

Money does not buy class !

It's alive!

I bet it stands for the national anthem

pomsaeng · 10-31-2017, 07:01 AM

All I see is freedom!!!

But really...the interior is hideous.

ShockArrival · 10-31-2017, 07:15 AM

Did I read the interior section of the press release correctly...?

Quote:

The interior could not be less special and the designers quickly identified that there is nothing more American than red, white and blue.

Agreed.

termigni · 10-31-2017, 07:23 AM

omg

tpipta · 10-31-2017, 07:36 AM

That interior is complete garbage. Why in God's creation would someone approve that? It would be hard to think of a worse way to celebrate the heritage of any car.

I do like the shift knob and armrest btw.

This is not a SEMA car. This is supposed to be a tribute to 30 years of the M3 in USA. SEMA is simply the location where they are showcasing and selling it. With that said, i still can't believe BMW USA appoved this.

I just threw up in my mouth

The scary thing about this world we live in, is that someone somewhere is losing his shit over loving this design so much!!!

Needs more Russian influences to exude that proper American feel.

Habber · 10-31-2017, 08:09 AM

It only takes one guy to love it.

GOLFFRR · 10-31-2017, 08:10 AM

this seems appropriate

Looks like something Ultraman would drive.

SickFinga · 10-31-2017, 08:19 AM

Thoughts?

jpdchicago · 10-31-2017, 08:21 AM

Not for sale anymore. Trump just bought it.
American Flag got to his head...

Wow that's even uglier than the X7 concept!!

What is going on with BMW nowadays?

ilia · 10-31-2017, 08:46 AM

I bet pics don't do it justice. I kind of dig it... and all the MP goodies on it

. On another positive note it will remain a one of one
