E92 M3 pics posted at the fest

Some of the best pics I've seen so far.

No real surprises, appearance wise. It's an evolution. Although the details (hood bulge, side gills, front grille, etc) are covered, it seems like a safe bet that these will look a lot like the M5/M6.

Nice enough car. Bring a four door over and I will buy one. I have no interest in another two door.

I thought you were in the "335i is will have more than enough power" camp.

It will. It should tide me over nicely until the M3 is available.

EDIT: See, the 335 will have more than enough power. But the M3 will have more than more than enough power, which should be enough.

Mmm.

Power.

I like the looks of the coupe fine, but I won't buy one. I really REALLY hope they bring the sedan, but I kind of doubt they will.

I can't get to that site because of firewalls.

Initially at least I think I'd have more interest in a wagon variant than either the coupe or sedan. Besides, the phlegm surface design seems more tolerable on the wagons.

Seems to me I read somewhere (Roundel?) that the wagon was more likely to be produced than the sedan.

Edit: Are these the photo's you're talking about?

If so found them on a non-entertainment site, e90post.com (Thanks, TD )

i would prefer the 4 door, also.

concur with JST. more than more than enough power is about right for this goldilocks.
