Nice v8 sound!!!

TThanks for the video.

YYdoodle · 08-24-2006, 06:55 AM

Best video I seen yet. Can finally hear the acceleration on the car. Great stance and proportions on that car.

Really can't wait until camo comes off fully.

yEeHaW · 08-24-2006, 07:23 AM

somethin' like "I seen this enough, haut ab (-> buzz off)" ?
but very stylish bavarian english man haha

GREAT VIDEO!

The V8 sounds incredible!

YYimports · 08-24-2006, 09:24 AM

not many places to hide in the desert for those BMW testers, they must have been real pissed for that whole time. Great vid.

LOL - That was hilarious when the kraut says "Hey guys, I sink dats enough!"

That V-8 sounds TITS. Too bad he short shifted in first, but we heard the rumble in second. :rocks:

Yea, no shit. LOL! Why the hell did the shirtless kraut take a picture of them, too, as they approached? Maybe show the pic to his boss to say "Watch out for these guys"? Wierd.

Yeah maybe. Good stuff, I am acustomed to the six cylinder though. I like V8's. 400hp is alright I suppose. bye bye gas mileage though.

John · 08-24-2006, 12:34 PM

that M is very wide. i love the great job BMW has done once again

If you're worried about the gas mileage, maybe you're looking at the wrong type of car.

Either way, here is some info from C&D about this thread...

I'm looking at the right car. 400hp isnt too bad on mileage. I look at major aspects of a car which includes gas mileage. A mercedes driver telling me I'm looking at the wrong kind of car.

Not wanting to turn this into a never ending feud, I don't see what being a "Mercedes driver" has anything to do with it.

I'm simply pointing out the obvious,

which IS the majority of buyers interested in any high performance car, is usually less concerned about the gas mileage, after all...there are some sacrifices with high performance. Gas Mileage wasn't a deal breaker when I was cross shopping the competition and my C55.

check out the front bumper. it looks alot better then the other spy shot.

daeguboy · 08-24-2006, 09:41 PM

that front bumper really reminds of F1 but alil wider.

climkt · 08-24-2006, 11:19 PM

it is looking more like this PS pic. i think this PS pic could be the real thing.

Unfortunately, it's hard to really see what the stance is since that video was a 4:3 aspect ratio stretched to 16:9. I do think those fat fender-flares will look amazing on the E92 body. Can't wait to see an M3 sedan.

Well needless to say if it gets decent mileage I have no complaints. The M3 so far has gotten at least 18mpg. The prices are coming down anyway. They need to keep dropping.

How many test cars do they have? I've seen two within the last week around the Glendale/Griffith Park area in Southern California. Looks pretty mean even with all the "cover ups"

ase2dais · 08-30-2006, 10:09 AM

I like what I see

res_ipsa · 08-30-2006, 10:35 PM

Awesome vid! Woulda been fun to see/hear the M3 tear away from the camera car to get away
