BMW Group Press Club

Click on right hand side and fast forward to around 19 minutes if you can't be bothered to listen to the suits blathering on. Andy Priaulx drives it in with some throttle blipping.

No the carbon fibre roof will be standard on the new M3 according to the new Evo magazine. Prices starting at £47k, the first lhd models will be avaliable in the summer of this year. The first rhd models will be in this country at the start of 2008.
Avaliable in manual or SMG.
This is not a "concept car" this is the production car, near enough.

Look out RS4's

This concept car is not how the final M3 will look. This concept car is a combination of normal M3 and the M3 CSL fused together, so the M3 will be a teeny weeny toned down.

Next RS5 will either use a 480hp lambo engine, a biturbo 4.2 V8 or a 4.8 V8 based off the RS4's 4.2 V8.

What? Pure speculation?????


I still plan to get one, but will have to wait for a test drive. I hope for a big performance difference between it and my current 350Z. The current M3 did not offer a performance advantage for the price.

Which part are you asking if its speculation?

What I have said about the M3 is 100% fact, straight from BMW's mouth.

Very true, if money were no object i'd have the M3, infact I might have the RS4, no I'd have the Audi R8. Nope infact i'd have the new Lambo Supperlegga.

Alas, I need bang for buck and £50k is my top wack. I will have to see real world reviews and test drive it before I buy. Although I thought the current M3 was fast, its no faster in real world terms than the Z or Sti. For 50k it needs to walk away confidently from the 350Z/current M3 on a duel carriageway. Off topic, but I think the Sti Spec C GP looks like good value. Be nice to have a Scoob again.
