Found this on 4car website

Seems saloon may get the coupe headlights? Or perhaps only on this M3 version.

Right, only the E90 M3.

Aarrgh!!! Looks aggressive doesn't it!

silverbmwz3 · 08-26-2007, 11:20 AM

Like it a lot but the rear looks a bit wrong to me, the exchausts look "stuck on" and the light cluster looks too standard e90 - they could at least have gone down the blacklines or something like it route.

Mind you, I find my e90 m sport too harsh a ride so god knows what that'll be like.... will be watching it with interest though.

I see you what you mean about the quads. It definitely needs blacklines, 19's and a further drop of 10mm IMO.

do you think its why Bmers are loathed by them who can't afford them

'cos they are good aren't they

Micky Dee · 08-26-2007, 03:51 PM

Tend to be better built than Rover SD1's!!!!

silverbmwz3 · 08-26-2007, 04:38 PM

Viv..I hope they tested that on people who are susceptible to fits. I think that pounding sound and flashing writing is designed to make you go into a zombie like trance where you go straight to stealers, do not stop at go, and buy one.

Is the front grill like the coupe??

Z4 Beemer · 08-27-2007, 06:11 AM

I wonder if all saloons will eventually get the coupe front headlight look as part of a redesign? It wouldn't surprise me.

I don't think you can configure the new M3 on the UK site yet?
