50,650 apparently, available for ordering in september.

Does nothing for me in that color, with that interior and those wheels.

Does nothing for me full stop!!!

[ChipHazzard]

I totally agree

I totally agree

Indeed. If it is anything like the M5 we have nothing to fear. Pants......

Should be pretty easy to catch off the boil - 414 hp at 8300 rpm—redline is only 100 rpm further up the tach.

I find the looks of recent BMWs have to grow on me. I like the 3 series coupe shape, seen some lovelly 335i's, I'm sure in the right colour it will look good.

[DavidT]

Horrid colour that one, but generally, I have to say I like the new 5 series and the 'bigger' 3's are growing on me too.

Does anyone like the colour in the top link ?

anyone else see a rover turbo coupe?

[RSVI]

Am i going to get flamed if i say i like it?

[markwm]

The picture you posted isn't 'it' though

[RSVI]

Isn't it it with a few mods?

[RSVI]

Still like it

[ScottyBoy]

IMO Wrong wrong wrong its hideous, front end series 1 styling, lines look like they are from an Alfa GT, the interior dull, boring,predictable dont know what to say about those back seats except burn them, the coupe fender vent looks like an American fridge handle, the wing mirrors look like some cheap tacky aftermarket crap you would buy off Ebay to stick on your Nova,the way the rear end tapers in it looks like its just been squeezed from the designers arse, the bonnet bulge oh come on not again it doesnt work, this automotive disaster should never reach production it is sticking two fingers up at past M3's and saying B*ll*cks to you im going to destroy all the hard work you have put in making the M3 the legend it is today. Everyday i face the dilemna of whether to sell my beloved RS4 and replace it with an M3, so id better make my mind up soon because if this thing hits the streets used M3 prices are going to soar.I hate it and if you come near me in one im going to pull your pants down and thrash you to within an inch of your life

[RSVI]

You don't like it then Scott

I think I'll agree with most of your comments but still kind of like it, NEVER own one, but kind of like it.

Love the lines of the present design, just wouldn't own one because they're too common (and too slow )

[quattrosteph]

You couldn't made a mistake with the last M3 ,any angles, very distinctive lines,shape, flare wheel arches.....a M serie different than the rest. And now put that new M3 next the same in diesel top of the range....?Well not much difference then, it is not agressive enough, not scary enough i would say. Oh i forgot how much is it again..........??

anyone else see a rover turbo coupe?

Yeah, but not as good looking!

Older one looks much better. Still wouldn't have one though - too Common!
