Confirmed: BMW Ring-Taxi Lives On... as an M3!
BIMMERPOST NEWS Confirmed: BMW Ring-Taxi Lives On... as an M3! Rumors abound yesterday about the BMW Ring-Taxi possibly not returning in 2011. However, reports of its death has been greatly exaggerated. The Ring-Taxi is not going away, but changing forms. We were able to reach out and receive official word from BMW M on the matter. The official situation is: "The BMW Ring-Taxi will continue in 2011 and use the BMW M3 this year. It will be driven by the instructors from the BMW Driving Experience program - much like it used to be in past years." In other words, the only thing that changes is that the E60 M5 has been replaced by the E90 M3, and the chances of Sabine Schmitz driving the Ring-Taxi are none this year, compared to slim in past years. Visit BMW's Ring-Taxi web site and leave your email address if you want to get notified once tickets for the 2011 Ring-Taxi become available.

Looks like they want to promote a current model, rather than the now gone M5.

I always thought the E90 M3 would be awesome for this.

Op
Can you give a pic of a e90 M3 instead of the e92 coupe. Camonnnn, the sedan ain't that polarizing to not be included in the topic. BTw, this good news. The e90 M3 will make a great Ring taxi.

Good news - great program and very cool experience. 4 adults being flung around the ring in the e60 M5 made the car feel small - I'll wager the e90 M3 will further exacerbate the perception of a tight squeeze.
