^ I agree

Contrary to what the majority of this thread has to say, I'm thinking it's a great car.

I was thinking maybe make it a bit wider, but I'm sure that the enginners spending years on this car would make a far better decision then car enthusiasts.

wrong colour, make it white and it would be hot!

i agree with the color. white will make it look much better.

I love the E46's design so much more, but if I had the cash I would not hesitate to pick a white one up with cinnamon interior rather than buying a E46.

Popeye

It's too damn expensive and would be in the dealers garage more than mine.

rai

expensive? what else in it's class is cheaper? (only the Vette and that's really a different class)

Will be in the dealers garage all the time? Based on what? Even people who have had problems with the previous gen M3 (my friend for example) his car was only in the shop 4-5 weeks. And that was with full engine rebuild.

I owned a problem BMW (IMO) and it was in the shop maybe 5-6 days. That's a lot (IMO) but hardly to be considered in the shop more often than not.

And, I dare say there are Honda owners who have experienced less than 100% reliability.

Really the only competition I see is Audi (RS4), Lexus (IS-F) and Nissan (GT-R) two of which are not even out yet (nor is the M3 so it's hard to say how bad reliability is going to be).

My friend has the current gen M5 and says he's had zero problems with it so far over one year.

It's an OK-looking engineering marvel. I still haven't gotten over the busy lines on the front and rear bumpers, interior and side mirrors

the M5 is a much nicer car. i wish they would have made this new M3 like that. it is also not as aggressive looking as the E46...to round and smooth.
