i knocked on the window and asked if i could take some pictures. and he said okay and as long as i don't take any interior shots. He was german and he was doing tuning on his laptop. i took about 50 shots and then he drove away. sounded really nice too!!!!!!!!! OMFG!!!!!!!

Epacy · 07-19-2007, 11:03 AM

Nice. Thanks. The IB looks cleaner there than in previous shots. Where are the rest?

aerisolphaln · 07-19-2007, 11:33 AM

The blue does look a lot better than in previous pictures.

I still think I'll get my alpine white, though.

MI6 · 07-19-2007, 12:01 PM

That's Fry's in Woodland Hills- I live and work right there.

I saw the prototype E90 330i back in April 05' there before it was released.
Same thing- German guy said "Nein interior shotz."

Looks like Fry's is the place to hang out for these guys.....

THEY'RE NOT!!

IMO IB is a perfect color on the previous E46 M3, but I must say it doesn`t look that good on the E92 M3..............

That are the optional 19" wheels which are painted black for disguise purposes!

Looks like a miniature M6 (that's a good thing)

nusevad · 07-19-2007, 09:34 PM

sweet pics, wish i could see the rest of them and hear the sound. Anyone notice the tiny orange reflectors on the wheel arch? I wonder if thats what we are going to get...

that's so gay, i work 2 blocks away from there off of Sherman way and Canoga and i never see it.....LAME

Seriously .... who would complain about the arches? They're pretty big just not as drastic as the E46.

LandShark · 07-21-2007, 12:21 PM

hmmm... that is the best IB E92 M3 pic I've seen so far! it looks very nice (in those pics)!!

Really? The three series and six series are basically the same size... Only if you park them right next to eachother will you see that the 6 is the tiniest bit bigger, and only in one dimension. trivial, really.

Robert · 07-22-2007, 12:15 AM

Fenders look plenty big to me. Get AW if you want more drastic difference.

BMW should have enlarged the shark fin as well. More manly and sharky ;-)

It is interesting to note that the car does not have moon roof yet it doesn't appear to ahve CRFP roof as well.

Look at the e92 335is

Davo2003 · 07-23-2007, 08:02 AM

I still think alot is lost in the photos that can't be described. It really is starting to come down to ordering on faith and believing that BMW got the job done regardless of the naysayers. I saw a Motor Trend cover, I think it was MT. It said "The King is Dead" 335i vs. G37. Basically all these reviewers don't see the same things as many of us. I can tell you when I picked up my 330i and pulled next to a G35 or Lexus IS or whatever, I always "felt" I was in a nicer looking, "better" ride. There is something about a Bimmer that just doesn't translate onto paper or that you can get from photos. Regardless, I still believe by the end of the year you will have about a 75/25 split from reviewers in favor of whatever BMW product they are comparing. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

damn... I live 2 mins from there and I could have easily went and saw it
