I think the home page should have a "widget" showing the latest and greatest information about when to expect the M3 (in Europe and the US) -- and as updates come by - the home page gets updated as well.
(or maybe have a sticky with that information somewhere) ... just an idea |

Release schedule
It's all heresay until BMWNA issues something, but I'm believe US cars start production in December, meaning Feb-Mar '08 US delivery start. I'm guessing US dealers will get demos late this year.

I know that cars will be available for delivery in the UK on 8th September '07. I will hopefully be able to drive one and let you know how it feels sometime in June '07. If a car is available any sooner then you'll soon hear about it.

Here's what I don't like about my Z4MC (so shoot me!!): - Brakes too touchy on initial bite. Feel overboosted and are difficult to modulate. - Even with the Clutch Delay Valve removed, the clutch has little feel. It is like an on-off switch and (like the brakes) difficult to finesse. The throttle is the same way. I had to change my driving style to drive this car smoothly. Not that that is a terrible thing, but in hmm... 20 years of driving manuals, this car sticks out as the most "artificial" feeling clutch/throttle. - Engine/power is really just adequate for a performance car. Also, it could sound a little better (ok so I'm a sucker for a V8!) - A bit too much dive and squat in the suspension - Driving position and visibility could be better. But most of these issues are my fault -- I didn't drive the car before I bought it! It was just and I had to have it so I had it shipped from out of state. The same thing may well happen with the M3. I'm in line to get the dealer's 1st car - at an out of state dealer! I don't want to make the same mistake again so I hope I will get to drive it somehow.... What I DO like about the Z4MC... the materials and build quality are excellent, just like all BMWs. It looks sexy too and is very unique. I have yet to see another one, and this is in LA, where everybody has a cool car! |

Hans, many thanks. I've got a Z4 M Coupe on order (delivery in mid-May) and hadn't heard much negative comment about the car, so your comments are interesting and helpful. All of what you say makes sense, I guess I'll just have to see what I think when I pick 'er up. I was not able to find one locally to test drive before I had to place my order, but I felt, and still feel, pretty comfortable. My Dad has a Z4 roadster, and I like the driving position.
Either way, I will only have the car on a 30 month lease -- just an expensive rental until I buy an M3 Sedan in the fall of 2009. If I find the car annoying, I won't have it that long. But methinks I'll like it and will be squireling away additional cash to buy it at the end of the lease (it'll be rare and a classic in 20 years)! |

I'm guessing the US debut will be the L.A. Auto Show in Dec/Jan and will be in show rooms shortly there after.

Beautiful GT3! The white is the best color for GT3s in my opinion.

GT3!!! now i know you're a true car enthusiast. you didn't take the generic 911 turbo route. the white looks great by the way. maybe post a few more pics of the gt3 when you get a chance.
