the wheels are 18's... 19's are optional...

i looked at the official specs page, this car is almost 1.5 inches wider than a 335i coupe and about a 1 inch wider track... however, its also 1.5 inches taller

take of weight from the roof, then move the roof further away...

i still cant get over the mirrors... this maybe the first time in history where M3 owners will mod-up to the 335i mirrors...

Ugly, a long step in the WRONG direction in comparison to the last gen M3. Looks way to much like a regular pos 3 series.

Hate the wheels, otherwise not bad. The interior looks pretty stark, but red or ox-blood colored leather would spice it up a bit. So would some aluminum trim.

this M3 has the same things different from a regular E90 3-series coupe as the E46 M3 had different from an E46 330 coupe...

To me it looks like a cheap 335 for some reason. The rear bumper seems unfinished and the front lacks any styling besides ugly if you can call that a style.

Whats with the high profile tires?

I much prefered the old 3 series (and naturally m3) compared to the new ones. All new BMWs are pretty much hidious; if I ever considered buying a BMW before I won't now due to their new design (if you even want to call a terd as a face a design).

Not a fan of the mirrors.

Carbon fibre roof, nice, but no sunroof limits buyers. I can't think of too many BM's without sunroofs.

Wonder if this M3 leaves an room for a new M3CSL?

I prefer the rear end of the E46 M3. That is aggressive. The rear on this appears to look high from the 3/4 view.

I'd still step over my mother for one
