Don't like the front - doesn't look right with the lines and the grill.....
Extend the grill upwards and move the badge to the bonnet - would look better and meaner IMHO........

So, what do you chaps think of this then? I think its well more aggressive, and in fact looks the business. Hairdressers car no more.

looks like the z8 and that looked bad its the front end that not nice

Hmmmmm it could grow on me ;) i think this would look better in "real life" than in pictures, just like the MY01's did ;)

Tony:D

it kinda looks like a dog fish :) http://www.irchouse.demon.co.uk/dogfish.jpg

Do we know if it is still based on the ( new ) compact chasis ??

seen some pics of the back end, the back is nice, the front and sides ming, still looks like a hairdressers car imho.

Yeah, its based on the new Compact, so it will handle like a dream. And for anyone who doubts that, have you driven a new Compact? I had a 2.5 for a couple of hours and its was fantastic. Rwd, 190bhp. Kick ass.

But are they going to do an M coupe??????

I've heard they are going to put the 'M' engine into it, because the car is bigger than the Z3 basically it should accept the new M engine into it, should be one quick motor :o

DJFish, there's not going to be an M coupe vesion of it, because that role will be filled by the new M2 coupe, the M version of the new 1 series. Shame, but its still going to have 260bhp. 4cyl though. Humbug...

One problem.........It's still a fu**ing BMW!

Best start saving for a facelifted 3.2 M coupe then, before all the used prices go through the roof!

Erm, interesting!!!

I think cross it with the current Z8 and you would have a nice looking motor.

That would have to grow on me! Not literally you understand ;)

Improvement - <Jim Royale> my arse <jr>...
