More like insane grip levels

IMO it's ugly

**Rob** · 04-10-2006, 03:39 PM

Um Rooz, it's covered up. It looks a LOT better without all the tape and such masking it up. You will see. Also, that was me driving in those pictures. Boy was that fun.

Unless if it's drastically diff. from these following pics, I still think it's ugly without the tape...

The tape is there so that if someone takes spy pics that's all they see

^^ I don't think that's the new m3. At least I hope not.

It doesn't look agressive at all, and no M3 fenders? Only 2 exhaust pipes? Boring, small rims? Non-agressive front bumper?

Rooz, I think that's a prototype 3-series coupe or something, not an M3.

Rooz I gotta agree with Harry, I think thats what the 3 series coupe will probably end up looking like, I hope the m3 looks more agressive and better but I have my doubts.

IMO:
Looks to me like a Civic on steroids. I like that they fixed the kidney grille when compared to the e90. I am not happy with E90 tails, but the e92 doesn't look any better. E90 headlights/corners > E92's.

**Chris** · 04-10-2006, 05:20 PM

okay, let me explain. this is a masked body of an e90 330ci with the m3 engine and suspension and such. youc an tell teh difference by the bazooka's out the back. BMW does this so the average person can't tell what the car really is. you can tell its masked by 330 body by the lack of any sign of M gills. the white unmasked car is the production E90 coupe.

so in simple terms black car =m3 in E90 coupe body.
white = production E90 coupe

It is... but still it won't look too far off from it...

IMO all the new 3 series look "not so hot"

witeshark · 04-10-2006, 05:29 PM

I'd take it
