for thos who missed the press conference (short version), here it is in english



is one of the guys BORAT?

Yeah I don't know why everyone is talking about how they're dissapointed with the interior before the Production interior has even been shown. I think the only reason BMW allowed people a look inside the car was so they can see what kind of transmission it had. That is a pre-production interior...just look at it, it hasn't even been cleaned. Wait until the announcement people; stop jumping the gun.

there is a reason why all windows are tinted so dark. Becuase its not meant to be shown for the public.

There is no point in bitching about the interior becasue it is 99% certain that it will have the same interior as the ordinary E92, except for the tranmission and a few buttons off course. So it will only be a matter of specing the interior to your choice just like with any other bimmer.

Exactly. When the actual car is shown the interior will look much better, I'm not saying that it will be different but rather cleaned up a bit.

Anyone have the EVO magazine article? Can someone please post some scans? It is probably all just rumors but it makes for fun reading.

OK guys, decided I had to come back to post my comments of the M3 concept!

Well, when I first saw the pics on WCF, the first picture I saw was of the front of the car and was thinking, OMG that looks super hot. Looked exactly as I thought it would after seeing all the spy pictures. Although when going through the other pictures, I started doubting I initial thoughts, the back looked way over done (personally I hate tuned car in general) and the mirrors looked far too complex, when they could stay the same as the normal mirrors on the E92, the bulge looked too much, basically the M3 had lost it's menicing stance while still looking looking good parked outside a nice hotel, if you get what I mean. I was really disappointed.

It wasn't till I looked on here and saw the IRL photos, that everything started to make sence, the car looks sensational. I must keep reminding myself that BMW press photos don't always make the best of the car. Plus those videos of the car during launch, well the engine sounds awesome, not quite Ferrari nice but still very very nice!

I can't wait till september when we'll see the true car, not an M3 with some CSL styling clues!!

PS, the topic on if the car would feature leather as standand or not, I know a few people who wouldn't buy the car if it had leather, so I'm sure they would get a few more customers making this decision. Also, correct me if I'm wrong but in very hot countries, doesn't leather crack, seem to remember people in Dubai complaining that their leather dashboards on the M5s where cracking, or would crack but they were standard in those regions sothey didn't have a choice.

So to some up, I'd give this car 9.5 out of 10, can't wait for the real thing to be shown, sure my score will go up a bit then, be the car will be toned down a bit!
