Re: Official Information + Images: BMW M3 V8

im very intrested in Jerez Black, its black colour with blue in it. Sounds delicisious.

To think of Jerez Black - if you have ever seen Oil in a puddle of Black Dirty Water with that blueish greenish tint.

Not wishing to spoil the M3's thunder but look closer and you can see some cues on how the Baby M car will turn out - Yes Carbon Fibre reinforced roof and all the front grille is more a trapezoid shape with angled intakes for the brakes . The Baby M1 will be offered as Coupe and Cabrio.

Next up is the BMW M3 Cabrio to be announced in October and although you fret about weight - A lot of the weight has been severely reduced.
Shooting will take place in Scotland - A fantastic road with lots of curves and fantastic scenery called A816. Valencia, Spain and Cape Town, South Africa.

there are 4 other interior options to choose between, bmw also offer 4 different seatmodels. So what you see on those pics isnt the one and only combination.

Also I dont know what kind of interior people expected, as tradition shows, not much differs from "lower" version of the 3-series.

Re: Official Information + Images: BMW M3 V8

ohh and one more complaint.. the rimms..neither the 18´s nor the 19´s are hot..
i hope there are more options..or like some indviduall wheels..
cause it aint easy to find hot aftermarket rimms from BMW´s as it is from MB´s..
cause BMW tuners..pretty much suck compared to MB tuners

You have problems with SPAAAARTAAAAAAAA!!!!!??



I just had to do that...LOL


Anyways, I love that red color man. It's like dark red so it's not going to catch the popo's eyes as well as Hellrot Red or Ferrari Red does.

haha, finding new rims for your bimmer wont be a problem at all. you dont have to buy rims from bmw tuners, you can buy rims from whomever you want.

BTW the 19" rims are the same as the M5 E60 rims, one of the best looking rims on the market so calling them not hot, yeah right.

Christ , Artist, you sure do like to whine.

I believe it has to do with the rather unflattering grey colour interior that came with these pictures... I'm looking forward to see more flamboyant and striking colours that would really put it in its best light.

BTW, I only see a manual available for now, will SMG be offered first before ZSG debuts?

No, by the time this car is actually available to purchase the ZSG will have already been unveiled.

Re: Official Information + Images: BMW M3 V8

BMW, stop limiting your cars to 155 for god's sake!! Let that thing go babay. If im paying 55k for an M3 i want it to go as fast as my hearts content. Damnit

Nice, thanks.

BTW, I read that the Cd x A value of this car is 0.684... What's the Cd then? What is A?

The fuel consumption figure is really good... I'm really impressed. Our Maserati does far worse.

Re: Official Information + Images: BMW M3 V8

Guys, I think BMW has done a fantastic job masking the weight of this car.
I was browsing the through the M5 bulletin board and found this:

New M3's Weight - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

It states the EU weight of the vehicle as 1650 kg- that we know
On the footnote you will notice the following definition of EU weight:
1. 90% of fuel tank
2. 68kg passenger
3. 7 kg load.

So as someone that like crunching numbers, I went about figuring things out.
The petrol tank is rated at approximately 63 litres, so 90% capacity=56.7 litres
Petrol weighs 0.737kg/litre @ 16 degrees C= 41.8kg
If you subtract the weight of the Petrol+Passenger+Cargo> 1650-(42+68+7)= 1533 kg
Curb weight(depending on what standard)= 1533+42(47) ie (1575-1580)kg depending on the fuel load:90%-100%
