Some new ones from the Ring

Epacy · 07-26-2007, 12:28 PM

Nice. In some of those shots the car looks slammed.

Romo · 07-26-2007, 02:02 PM

Yes there is a lot of body roll to it, this looks as a high speed turn, look how the weel disapears under the fender..............................

nechronics · 07-26-2007, 03:42 PM

How easily fixeable is this assuming BMW does nothing about it

Epacy · 07-26-2007, 03:48 PM

Me-thinks those are not production tailpipes.

Romo · 07-26-2007, 03:53 PM

From that angle it is a kind off funny, like a muscle car from the seventies...........................( thinking off the Dukes from Hazard

)

I'm pretty sure its an easy fix...just take it to a shop for a snip & re-weld, like if you were changing out to an aftermarket exhaust...Jason again thanks for posting all these pics, I actually like Melborne in these pics...

I wonder WHY BMW is now testing the e92 M3 on the Ring.....

(Steering, anyone?)

That red is amazing!

Keto · 08-27-2007, 05:27 PM

I really need to see it live -- it can look amazing, but the occasional pic looks like the old red Carolla station wagon my dad gave me in high school that was oxidizing to orange...

esquire · 08-27-2007, 06:47 PM

melbourne is just one of those colors that changes so much under direct sunlight.

ToddMcF2002 · 08-27-2007, 08:08 PM

It looks alot like my Imola Red M3 in those last shots. Orange tinge in the sun (bad) turning to blood red toward evening (good!).

I'm starting to like this Melbourne alot.

Jason · 08-31-2007, 12:29 PM
