Any idea when //M version coming out? - M3 Forum 2010 2009 BMW M3 2008 BMW M3 BMW E90 M3 E92

03-11-2005, 05:01 PM

Has any info been released on when the M version of the e90 will be available? Are they making the M3 coupe only like they did with the e46? I hope they make both a coupe and sedan version, just like they did with the e36 M's.

03-12-2005, 02:03 PM

Anyone know? I'm only interested in the M version.

03-13-2005, 12:47 AM

Same here. I've outgrown my American muscle car phase and am ready to step into the world of German cars. I think I need the M version, the 330 just won't have the torque I'm used to. I'll finally be able to make turns while going fast!

03-15-2005, 05:53 PM

I don't know when it's due, but with this talk of the M5 being SMG only, I'm concerned that the M3 will be the same way. Anyone have any info on this?

illmatic · 03-16-2005, 07:26 PM

I think anyone holding out for the M3 will have a long while to wait.

blackpanther · 03-16-2005, 07:42 PM

no way M3 will be SMG-only. anyways it's been confirmed that a 6speed is being tested for the M5 for the states.

03-17-2005, 12:19 PM

don't hold your breath... didn't the e46 m3 take a while to be rolled out too???

england1987 · 01-27-2006, 11:29 AM

It should be out at the end of '07, maybe. Its normally released after the coupe. The 335i will make a nice inbetween vehicle, to fill the gap between the 330i performance and the next M3

Uli_HH · 01-27-2006, 02:14 PM

I´think that there is an great chance, that we see the new M3/E90 frist in the 4-door sedan form in Geneva 2006...because there are only prototyps in sedan form seen until today ( complete with big brakes, wide track, and four tailpipes )...all E92 coupe cars shown are the new turbo 335ti or 435ti with only two big tailpipes.

england1987, here we go again...a post from march of last year!?! wtf?

plus, the topic of this post has been discussed like a million times since last march!

Synikal · 01-29-2006, 04:42 PM

My Sales Advisor told me that the M3 should come out about a year or so after the coupe.

bavarian19 · 01-31-2006, 09:58 PM

I would expect it to come out tomorrow. My dealership told me so.

matze328 · 02-05-2006, 12:01 AM

It will be released in the first half of 2007, probably in march.

The fully manual m5 will be out this year

beckham23 · 02-06-2006, 05:58 AM

That would be what I want...after e36/46 M3, I want something else (just can't leave the ///M clan yet), and the new M coupe looks amazing!!

Truly wish that BMW would treat it like the previous M coupe when they stuff the e46 M3 engine in there in the last year (or two) of it...E90 M3 V8 engine in the new M coupe would be insane!!

Good choice in avatar as well!!!

I was actually there at the game... what a weekend!!!

Yeah... I was just joking about the release date... Im getting a little tired of the 335 and m3 release date threads...

///M3John · 02-13-2006, 09:25 AM

bavarian19: I knew you were kidding. When I saw Ashburn, VA, I figured you were talking about Sterling BMW.

I currently have an Audi A4 1.8T w/ mods but I'm still not satisfied. Going to get either M3 or 335i depending on price of course.

it won't answer to your question, but here are a few spy pics of the car in test

Spring '07 at the earliest (unlikely)... Summer '07 is the current claim by BMW internally.
