Now See BMW F80 M3 Show Off Its Mighty Fenders and Stance

[Karmic Man]

M4 looks much more distinctive in my eyes.

The M3 doesn't look very special apart form the slightly wider body from the normal 3s.

Compare this to the C63 AMG which is still just leaps and bounds better looking than the E90/F80.

The same problem is cursing the F10 M5 although we at least have the M6 Grand Coupe which is CLEARLY miles better looking than the M5.

.

I couldn't disagree more. The C63 has barely any rear fenders, it looks out of proportion and the other styling looks like Pepboys add ons. I also prefer the M5 to the M6. Luckily they make both 2 doors and 4 doors as this shows looks are incredibly subjective.

Leather dash is about an extra $1000 over those prices.

In the E9x M3 the Extended Leather was $1100, Individual Extended leather was $4300, and the Individual Full leather was $10,225. No OEM Leather dash was offered in the E9x M3.

The F8x M3/M4 Extended leather prices should be around those prices. It is unknown if Leather dash will be offered.

I am correct, you are wrong. Go to build your own on the BMWUSA sight and build an F10 M5. The figure for full leather INCLUDING the dash is patently stated as $3,500, just as it cost on my E60 M5. I'm obviously aware no full dash was offered on the E92 M3 due to the fact I own one. And who is talking about individual? That's always been poor value.

How was the B7 RS4 as a car?

Loved it to death. Sounded like an animal, great gearbox, and a well sorted chassis when the suspension is set up well! I dearly miss it. It was an A4 when you wanted it to be, and something more special when you stepped on it. I hope driving the M3/M4 will restore those feelings. Here she was

It's beautiful.

The Audi R18 e-tron couldn't hear what your uncle was saying.

Red Bull RB 10 did...(which is just as valid a comparison as yours, if you think about it.)

it probably shares the doors of the 3 series.
That edge will get dinged and be impossible for PDR to get it out.
probably want to 3m that panel too, as it will catch rock chips

Still think sedan has better lines and just looks more beefy than the coupe. The coupe looks awesome as well but theres nothing like a sedan with some muscle.
