I like some of the lines in that view. Looks long, sleek, and aggressive.

look at those wide fenders.

v8 M3 > M coupe.

do you think the M3 will break 70k?

Yeah, tires and rims barely fill the front fender. One of the biggest inherent issues with BMW's flame surfacing is that you have to fill the gaps with large rims, or else it looks like the cars riding on bicycle tires or donuts.

it actually doesn't look dimensionally that much more exaggerated than the e46m3.

still cool, though.

Yeah, not as much as I originally thought, anyway.

Fender gap solved:

Actually, that E90 looks like they've decided to make it look a lot lower out of the box.

DOOOD those pictures don't tell you anything because they weren't taken by the same photographer in the same light conditions using the same camera and film.

Guess I also am in need of a photography class or two.
