Got to see the new M3 Sedan at dealer today

Heat00 · 03-11-2008, 04:08 PM

since I went to the dealer today for an "early" oil change, I went over to see my sales guy to talk about a car for my wife...
we got on the subject of the new M3 and he walked me over to the front of the showroom where this bad boy was sitting...
Actually they had 2 of them, a coupe and a sedan.
Since I am a sedan guy for now, I went right to the M3 sedan. It was BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Not for sale... yet.... but nevertheless, gorgeous!!
Obviously there was no "test driving" it... or even sitting in it....
but I haven't seen one of these on the road or in person yet so I just thought I would share with you guys.... I was tempted to take some pics lol...

Yup, saw the coupe and sedan over the weekend myself....

Sedan is a 10/10 but the coupe was simply OHMYGAWD....

Haven't seen them in person yet at my dealer so I will reserve final judgment until then. However, the sedan just doesn't look right to me in pictures. E92 front, E90 back..seems off. The coupe though I am sure I will love.

I saw both of them in person yesterday also, COT DAMN the sedan looked good, even without the cf room. and damn even the 18's looked good I thought they looked better than the 19s on the m3 sedan esp. since they were in gunmetal!! Does anybody else feel that way?

I loved looking at the both of them but I was left pondering whether they were really worth almost 20K more than my 335i. I 'm looking towards the M5 but if that doesn't happen, definitely M3 coupe sorry I got a sedan now so no M3 sedan for me.
M3 coupe is BANANAS!!

since im a tech and obv they get PDI'd before they go into the show room..ill be the first to tell you they are probably the best M car ive ever driven..(e60m5, e6xm6, e46m3, e39m5)...the brakes are amazing..the torque goes straight to redline..but the looks im not that into..too much like an m5 as far as the outside goes..

There was no sitting in them? Tell them to give you a break. You can even sit in a Maybach or a S65 AMG, and you can't sit in an M3.
