Beyond the performance, the fit and finish on these c7's are amazing. We have one in my shop now and it is sssso nice. I can't wait to get my hands on a c7 z06.
I am seriously considering buying a c7. |

Frankly, if I could deal with a two seat only coupe with limited trunk space as my DD, I wouldn't be in an M3 right now. Regardless of what people in this thread seem to believe, these cars are not in any way direct competitors, although I'm sure there are some that would cross shop both. There is no reason for BMW to feel "embarrassed", because they are not attempting to build a two seater sports car with the next M3/4. Now if the (rumoured) ATS-V blows the next gen M3/4 away, then that's a different story.

Well technically it's a targa. There also hasn't been any confirmation whether there's any way to stow the roof panel in the car itself in case rain spontaneously opens up. Given how spacious Corvette hatch areas typically are though, I'm betting it'll be fine.

there are people here who can daily drive a corvette rather it be a base C7 or a Z06. there are people here who like M3 more than corvettes. just because someone buys a M3 does not mean they bought it because they needed the extra space, more luxury or what ever. what is going on is that GM really did a great job on this car. it is more appealing to European car buyers more than ever before. the look of the exterior and interior is a step in the right direction. the car is more exotic looking, and comes with a good interior. again European buyers like this. yes corvette is not direct competitors. but people WILL still compare them beucase some people are looking to spend 80-90k on performance car. |

Lot of people who are just performance car junkies. M3 is a performance car icon, so is Corvette. I buy a different performance car every couple of years just so that I can say I drove them all. You can daily drive any of them if you motivated enough!! |

I was about to put a deposit on the new M at a local south FL dealer but I think I just changed my mind after seeing this OMG this thing is just sick!!! I've been a loyal M customer since 1995 when I bought my first M3, went through E46,E90 and now E92 but damn sorry BMW I think you lost me here to Chevy. Don't care if the interior in this thing is made of skunk fur. Car is bad ass

It's noted in this thread a couple times and in the GM video that if you can afford a current Z06 you can afford this one. It says a fully optioned model will be under 100k.
