Brabham BT09 Turbo M3 at ESSEN Motorshow

KANdaddy · 11-30-2009, 09:37 PM

Love the front bumper. Would trade my Ericsson for it in a heartbeat.

Vendors are you listening? Get to work on a rep of this and/or the blue Brabham front end.

This car is so repulsive, positive opinions make me angry.

300k?!!?! are you fucking kidding me???

This garbage over

This + some 80k to boot????

blueaudi18 · 11-30-2009, 10:55 PM

like the front bumper.. hate the headlights...

Remonster · 11-30-2009, 10:58 PM

I agree with BMWinNorthdakota this is so ugly that I don't understand how anyone could like it. It's like those ricers who find a bodykit in a junkyard that's the wrong color and then staple half of it to their car and let the rest just hang off, how is it an improvement?

Also to put his point in perspective, you could buy an F430 and use the remaining $80k to get a normal E92 M3 as well.

Green///Hell · 11-30-2009, 11:01 PM

Too bad the front bumper isn't a simple swap over as the car is a lot wider than a regular M3
At the price they at least could've done a full repaint like they did their stroker car

Topless 335i · 11-30-2009, 11:32 PM

"Worst M3 Ever."

nd54 · 11-30-2009, 11:37 PM

Terrible looks aside, is anyone even sure it's based on an M3? It has non-M side mirrors. That and the 'turbo' name might point to 335 origins...

Plus they already have a M3 based car with a 4.4L engine and $300,000 price tag.

nusevad · 11-30-2009, 11:46 PM

for some reason i really like that front bumper...looks like a stingray

1º · 11-30-2009, 11:52 PM

so ugly but i want to know more

numba1guju · 12-01-2009, 12:33 AM

eh...wheels ugly...random ugly things on the car...

wait...just read 300k...F this...super ugly

Dartanium · 12-01-2009, 12:40 AM

interested to see the turbo(s) and some power figures

e90.navid · 12-01-2009, 01:08 AM

how did they make the headlights like that?

spec 123 · 12-01-2009, 01:30 AM

why arent they rocking the m3 mirrors?

To start, the designers got really drunk, then an engineer piped in with, "Hey! Check THIS out...".

The rest is infamy.

bmwturkiye.net · 12-01-2009, 04:29 AM

Front looks plastic. It should be sharper

d3l0n · 12-01-2009, 05:22 AM

everything is a bit scary except the wheels and blue film.. those just have to go. That car definitely has an intimidating look

hanmaas · 12-01-2009, 05:23 AM

There's nothing good that can be said about this car. The front looks like a Merc SLK.
