2010 BMW M3 by Brabham Racing First Drive

FrankieP · 03-18-2009, 08:33 PM

Wow $310,000 and you get the old i-drive

Ronin13 · 03-18-2009, 08:42 PM

Side note... For all the other extensive modifications, looks like they kept the stock airbox. Potentially another affirmation of the stock setup.

Sure. I bet those things will just sit in dealers lots forever in this economy. I bet you could even talk them into throwing in an extended warranty and 19" wheels. But, spend the extra money and get a 335 and mod it. Everyone knows it'll be faster.

That thing is very cool. A little expensive, but you have to pay to play.

GTR-M3 · 03-18-2009, 09:03 PM

I wonder who would actually drop such a $ for this car? Damn, i build and sell new homes for a living and if i had $310,000 and was given a choice to either buy that car or build a house, i would build a sick ass luxury house sell it for 1 to 2 million dollars buy a damn Ferrari Enzo and go crazy. They need to re-calculate the price tag.

If i'm gonna pay that much, i'm gonna play with a prancing horse.

iveman89 · 03-18-2009, 09:28 PM

price is insane but im diggin the body kit especially the rear fenders, i wish BMW would have done something like that, but not a fan of the rear bumper.

erio · 03-18-2009, 09:40 PM

I found a couple videos of this thing. Nice but def. think they are asking too much.

Mr Tonka · 03-18-2009, 09:53 PM

a little expensive?

it's a BMW 3 series. For another $40k you could have a Carrera GT.

Robert · 03-19-2009, 12:00 AM

Someone will buy it

Nutballa · 03-19-2009, 12:45 AM

pff. GT3 RS> that crap.

Splinter4784 · 03-19-2009, 12:47 AM

This is One Seriously Sick and Sexy M3

But i dont think it is worth it for the price

The maximum i would buy this car for is $175,000

d3l0n · 03-19-2009, 01:41 AM

thats very impressive, but i'd get my dream car instead with that money..
ASTON MARTIN DBS or PORSCHE 911 GT3

HONORABLE MENTION: LAMBO MURC LP590,

ALL 2010/2011 BMW M CARS LOL

Zk1 · 03-19-2009, 03:23 AM

i thinks it looks great and if i had the dough to buy it'd prob be a gajillionaire...
With a McLaren F1, Roller Phantom, F430 Scudy & 599, F40 & FXX too.
So it depend which customer market they're going for. I think its for the oligarch crowd.
the wheels are sick..

Very nice report,thks

footie · 03-19-2009, 06:05 AM

To be perfectly honest this is how all M3s should look and would stop people from saying that the RS4 is a much better and aggressive looking car which it is. I have always wondered why BMW keep the look of all their M model so tame in comparison.

BMW take note to try hard next time.

NAtS · 03-19-2009, 06:20 AM

This is a car made for racing and collectors guys, stop hating.

+1, I would rather spend another $30k more on a CSL M3 if they brought one out. At $310k there are plenty of other cars one would buy before that!

I think it looks good... the carbon fins on the wheels have to go...
