went out for luch and saw this.. wow... i couldnt resist but to snap a couple pics since i parked next to it... i took the pics with my phone which was for some strange reason stuck in small pixel mode so i had to strech them a bit on paint thats why resolution isnt so great... but I have to say the car looks agressive as hell with the flared fenders and carbon fiber wing..

I saw one at Santana Row in San Jose a few weeks ago. I can't get over how fugly the rear diffuser is. 
On a somewhat related note, I saw it's main competitor the M3 yesterday in west LA, specifically Marina Del Rey. Before I realized what I was staring at, I was to slow to grab my iPhone to take a pick. It was debadged and no BMW roundel either. Aesthetically, M3 hands down!

Everyone has there opinion. I'm glad you were okay about mine.
The new M3 has been spotted numerous times in Socal debadged before it's official debut.

The CLK 63 BS will sell, no doubt.
The new debadged M3s seen in Socal is b/c they're test mules. BMW likes to test their cars in Socal. That's why there is always a lot of sightings. I won't be surprised when the first F10 sighting, clad in camouflage, in the US will be either in Socal or NJ.

Also, the CLK63 BS is pitched against the M6, not the M3. And even in those comparisons, it's killing the M6.

Yeah, the silver one we saw at Santana Row was sweet. I actually think the diffuser blends in well with the aggressive race-like profile of the car.
Also, the CLK63 BS is pitched against the M6, not the M3. And even in those comparisons, it's killing the M6.

Seems to me like more often than not, the CLS and E AMGs are both being compared to the M5 rather than the M6; check out this link Vegas:

Then again, the lines are getting more blurry nowadays and it seems like every car is fair game for comparison purposes.
