Can you spot the car...

...designed before the new EU pedestrian safety regs?

Ugh. The styling on the noses of these new BMWs is just terrible.

Unfortunately, the Lime Rock Park M3 is already sold.

Unfortunately....
Have you seen the sticker price on those things? Talk about "unfortunate."

I could have gotten you one a couple months ago if I'd have known you were in the market....

My local dealer had a couple of new coupes on the lot last week when I was in there - one was that frozen gray thing, and the other bright red over tan.

I agree, but it looks better on the larger five than it does the three ...

Each time I see a new three from the rear, it looks pretty good, then I get around to the front and it all goes wrong. My e46 is a thing of beauty by comparison.

Nah, not in the market. It's just the only car that they had in the dealer that was even remotely tempting.
