New E9x M3 Coupe & Sedan Photos

phoenixbmwlife · 03-09-2008, 10:01 PM

Went to the dealer yesterday to get a test drive & snap some shots of the Sedan and Coupe but I only accomplished the latter.

My sales rep told me that no one is allowed a test drive as yet. In any case I took lots and lots of shots so I hope you like them.

Coupe is Melbourne Red/Bamboo Beige Extended/Carbon Leather

Sedan is Silverstone II/Fox Red/Carbon Leather.

My thoughts for the coupe is that Melbourne red looks a lot better in real than the pictures. The beige interior is terrible and just not my cup of tea but I'm sure someone else will like it. I wish the interior was black cause that to me would be the best combo for the Melbourne Red.
The cockpit is very roomy but the back has very little room. To me, standing at 6 feet the seat height is just fine. The interior has a really nice layout and I love the height of the dash and how roomy the cockpit is. The only down for me is that after looking at the coupe for more than 30 min, I realized that the craftsmanship is like a regular 3 series. Nothing great to talk about and honestly I can understand now why some have said its overpriced. However to put things in perspective there really is nothing else out there that has the same quality that the M3 has for less. In general I will be very pleased and excited to own mine.

The sedan surprised me. It looks really good! The front interior is same as the coupe but the back has a lot more room. Anyone thinking about the sedan will not be disappointed cause it is a looker. The 19" wheels really compliment this car so much and now there is no other option but the 19" in my opinion. The pictures below do not do justice to both cars. For those who haven't seen it in person as yet you need to do that.

phoenixbmwlife · 03-09-2008, 10:14 PM

The exhaust tips really look great.

nusevad · 03-09-2008, 10:15 PM

Very nice, MR looks very nice under the lights! I agree with your comment about the beige.

phoenixbmwlife · 03-09-2008, 10:16 PM

Ok finally some interior shots. Like I said in the opening post. I'm not really liking this color.

phoenixbmwlife · 03-09-2008, 10:18 PM

I really love the cockpit. Sitting inside feels very comfortable. Sorry about some of the blurry pics. I don't know why my camera does that.

phoenixbmwlife · 03-09-2008, 10:20 PM

The clutch felt good. Of course the car was not on and I wasn't shifting for real but I like it.

phoenixbmwlife · 03-09-2008, 10:22 PM

I like the fact that it has an aux in and a USB port. And that its hidden.

phoenixbmwlife · 03-09-2008, 10:25 PM

Finally the sedan pics are coming. I didn't take that many of the sedan cause its not what I'm buying. Even though its the color and trim I ordered for the coupe. Again I was really impressed with how the sedan looks. Only thing is I wont choose fox red for the interior on the sedan. The back didn't look very good in all red. Just my Opinion.

phoenixbmwlife · 03-09-2008, 10:27 PM

By the way...This is exactly what fox red looks like. To be perfectly honest I'm not 100% sure I'm getting fox red anymore. Luckily for me I still have time to change my mind. There is something about it I'm not sure about. I need to go back this week and look at it again to be sure.

phoenixbmwlife · 03-09-2008, 10:30 PM

Here's more interior shots of the sedan interior.

phoenixbmwlife · 03-09-2008, 10:31 PM

I'll prob end up getting it with the fox red.

phoenixbmwlife · 03-09-2008, 10:33 PM

Ok only one more to go after this one then I'm going to sleep.

phoenixbmwlife · 03-09-2008, 10:35 PM

Ok that's a rap I'm going to bed. Hope you all enjoy the pics.

nusevad · 03-09-2008, 10:37 PM

wow so many pics, awesome K3n R3d!!!

rzm3 · 03-09-2008, 11:15 PM

They are out of focus on some of them because I don't know how to take proper pictures. My camera is funny. Sometimes its clear and sharp other times its blurry.
