My Trip to the Brisbane Motor Show - Many Images

[CorpusCallosum]

I have 5 days off this week because I cut my finger on Saturday, well a young interm slipped and cut my finger. So tonite I decided to go to the Brisbane Motor Show.

My summary of the evening.
- The M3 is the best looking car on the planet. Period!
- The 1 Series Coupe looks very good in person with the M pack - 135i
- The BMW X5 is perfect inside and out
- The Q7 is not far behind
- The Audi S8 is stunning!
- The new A4 is dull
- The BMW 3 series is a very plain, yet somehow exciting design. Can't put my finger on it.
- All Bentleys are great!
- The 6 Series Facelift is magnificent. Ugly my big fat a$$
- The S5 is good looking
- Mercedes didn't bother to show up
- Ferrari's are perfection incorparated

I couldn't believe how good the M3 looked in person. Would have been good if the Mercedes C63 was there but it wasn't. I was also surprised at how ordinarily boring the Audi A4 is. Looks exactly like every other Audi with new headlighst that look quite tacky to me in real life.

The Lexus LS also looks like a camry in silver yet in black looks awesome. Seems a very colour dependent car to me. They had an individual 760Li. For such an old car it still looks great to me.

Thanks for the pictures. Now I understand why MB didn't bother to show up. Apparently you guys walk straight from the bed, into the bathroom and then to auto shows without bothering to change into proper attire. lmao at the guy.

I especially love this shot. These are without the best designed headlights in the world in my eyes. The eyebrow that sweeps along the top curve looks great and the twin angle lamps are very nicely designed.

Thanks and your most welcome

I am an extremely novice photographer so I don't use a really good camera. I just thte other day purchased a Canon PowerShot SX100 IS. It's nothing to special but does the job for me.

I know you forgot about the discomfort your finger was giving you, especially after seeing that M3--

I spent atleast 30 minutes going over every detail of the M3. They weren't letting people look inside so I slipped into the conversation that I'm a doctor and very interested in the new M3 and they had it open within seconds having a salesman take me over every detail. Manipulitive yes, worth it, you bet!

The car is just a great, classic design. Whoever said the M3 isn't aggresive enough has never seen it in person. I think BMW's are designed so that litle exposure plays a fundemental roll in the design. When you see how the light reflects of all the surfaces, the car is just fantastic. I have yet to see a better looking car in the world in my own opinion.

Some more M3 shots I shot with my phone

That's a good (true) one!

Well I had to take action or I would have been one of the crowd and not get a good look at the M3

I was disappointed in BMW, they closed most of their cars doors. AUdi however let you sit inside and play with MMI and get a good overall feeling for the interior. I had to ask 3 different sales people at BMW just to get sit in the X5. Lucky for them it was worth it, it's BMW's best interior on par with the 6 Series facelift.

Nice pics!

The S5 in the first shots looks amazing!

Oh, and it's a A8 4.0TDi and not S8

I am back, 2 days away from the comp and I have 425 un-read posts!! Nice photos mate, is there anymore ? For some reason, I can't load half of the photos.

The M3 looks very sexy in the metal and in real life shots, so I was expecting the car to look fantastic on the road, but I saw one 2 weeks ago in traffic and it looks strangely anonymous. The nice technical V8 sound made up for it though. I guess the design is very light sensitive.

I thought you already had a good look at the M3 at the dealership when you were checking out the 6-series. I guess none of the sales people from your dealership were present at the show, otherwise they would have automatically given you the guide tour of the car. Just tell those people that you are looking for something more sporty than your 650i, that will guarantee to light them up. Are you going to test drive the M3 in the near future?

Strange, it was the exact opposite in the Sydney motor show. Only the M3, the M5 and the 7 series are locked, the rest of them are open and free for public inspection. Audi locked up most of their cars at the show.

I noticed that before... Was hoping know one else would haha

God the S8 must be simply stunning if thats a normal A8
