All I can say is WOW! What a car. With the M button on this is just awesome. The acceleration was unlimited. I do love Turbo's but a 4.0 V8 N/A is stunning. I must say I was pretty disappointed to have to jump back in my 330Ci.

Shame about the looks. Rear looks similar to the E46 but their is just something wrong with the front - and Im not just on about the bonnet bulge they nicked from a Holden

I do agree with you. I don't think it stands out enough from the normal coupe version but once you drive it you don't actually care!

JimmyBFC

saw one in white with a carbon roof, looked awesome.

Petem95

I'm loving that as well! Took a while for the new shape one to grow on me, but I really want one now!

The E46 one is suddenly looking quite dated, however I'd still like one of them too!!

The one in the pic has a carbon roof too. Thin they all have. There was a white one there too and that was stunning

ScoobyDoo555

Had a look at this, and well, yes in white with a carbon roof..... V nice....

BUT at the same type of money, I was also looking at an M6....... (used, obviously!! )

You should try driving an E46 M3 CSL and that will put an even bigger smile on your face

i cannot wait till the e92 m3 csl comes out...that should be quite a machine

I current have a 330Ci convertible but after driving the M3 I am very interested in an e46 CSL. I might look into it.

The e46 had a bonnet bulge as well so its not really nicked from holden.
Fantastic car. want one but sadly the way fuel is going i will never own one.
my e46 m3 may be my last fast car.

I thought they were too understated to begin with too but the more I see them the more I appreciate the subtle differences.

They actually look really aggressive on the road, really squat. Typical BMW design, takes a long time to grow to like it fully.

Blueblaster

I think its biggest problem is its price. With a few options you're looking at the same price as a base model 911. Now I know the two cars aren't directly comparable, but I know which keyring I'd prefer. Being so heavy and having such a high red line you're also going to have to run the camera gauntlet every time you want to play. Terrible mpg too....but I won't bang on about that

The front end is taking on too much of a Z4 look for my liking, obviously a great car though.

Jespin that's not quite true about typical BMW designs, because i instantly liked the first 8 series when these arrived in the showrooms. It's a typical bangle design not BMW.

That's what I meant, but all of the big sellers are/were Bangle designed.... don't exactly see many 8 series around now do you? All of the recent models have been growers, most people will agree with that.

ScooByer Trade

You might see more 8's, when they all gather to different places and i'll correct you there the 8 was designed by a german ( Klaus somebody i think ).The styling of the 3 series saloon is boring (i guess people would buy that out of sheer boredom).The boot lid on the new 6 series looks like an after thought that destroys the lines.Yes the 7 series they improved by shall we say rearlifting but i prefer the previous E38 7.

Nido

Yep, that's oh so important

jespin

I never said the 8 wasn't designed by a German, I said it wasn't a Bangle design.

Sorry my mistake.
