Pure sex without a rubber. Love that new m3, damn

 

This makes me re-think the Nissan GT-R that I am on the list for.

 

I would rethink it...

I like it (the E92 M3). A LOT.

 

it looks good. i agree with the comments on that color too.

 

Isnt that color the same color as the E60 M5 when the press concept pics came out? its a $20K paint job. Shadow Chrome?

 

My dealer showed me his ordering sheet for the M3. The HEA ( firts dealer supply cars ) will be out in late summer, according to him. They have already finalised the options. No SMG or ZSG on the list, only 6 speed manual.
On the option list was EDC and MDrive!? Should have been standard, don?t you think?

 

what is the HP on this monster?

 

Aesthetically speaking, the car looks great. Very aggressive exterior; nothing subtle about it.
I especially like:
- CF roof (and kidney grill surrounds perhaps??) as well as on the dash and center console of the interior.
- wide fenders.
- vented hood.
- side marker incorporated into the side gill.
- front airdam/spoiler.
- side body line which starts at the rear tail lamp runs through the door handle (M5 runs above the handles) this is a cleaner look in my opinion. It then stops at the side gill instead of continuing to the front head lamp. This body line has a more aggressive crease compared to the side body line of the M5 which is more subtle. Just look at how much shadowing occurs to the door and rear-quarter panel below the line.

I dislike:
- HUGE power dome. It looks like a bump you get on your forehead. These photos make the power dome appear too high at the front part of it.
- sideview mirrors. Still prefer the two-tone version on the M5/6.
- rear diffuser. I would have preferred a rear diffuser either between or below the quad exhausts. Not above them.
- accelerator, brake, and clutch pedals. These don't look befitting for this type of car. In fact, they look exactly like the one in my 5 series. Why did they change only the foot rest (dead pedal)?

Overall, I'm very impressed. This is, however, still a concept version and a few (most likely minor) aspects of the car may still change.
Any thoughts?

 

This will depend on what you're looking for in your next car.
You will get more bang for your buck in the GT-R and the money you spend on aftermarket tuning (if you're into that at all) will yield greater performance gains with the GT-R.

It's difficult to say with any degree of certainty since there are no official specs released for either car, but I would be willing to bet the GT-R will best the M3 in almost every performance category. We'll have to wait and see.

 

Some rumours say 420 BHP, some say 440BHP...
