My BMW M3 V8 E92 review

So I finally drove the new M3 V8. As many of you know I was very upset on the first reviews from Marbella, Spain but the new M3 V8 surprised me. Suspension is good as a 335i thanks to EDC. The seats are very comfortable.
I know Gustav had another three passengers when he drove from Stockholm...

I'm sorry but thats not for you to decide. The quality in materials are there and the layout design is a personal opinion. I have no problem with the interior in 3-series and I prefer it over C-class.
Like I said earlier, I agree no car is 100% and I havent said the M3 is 100% thats why I didnt give it an overall rating.

Styling - styling is subjective but I love how the M3 looks like, therefore 5 stars
Performance - 420hp and power whenever you need it, rate it only a 4 would be stupid
Interior - the quality felt good and I like the clean and modern layout so its a five.
Quality - I had no problem during my testdrive and I can only speak for the time I spend driving the car. I cant guess the future realibility for this car therefore a five.
Recommendation - Why wouldnt I recommend this car? If you like performance cars then this is another awesome machine.

Note: I dont speak for other opinions, I can only rate it how I felt for the car. Also I cant tell others what to think becuase everyone is free to have an opinion.

And regarding my future C63 it is well documented its going to be a little harsh ridewise on UK roads so i agree.

My point is IMO no car can be truly 100%. Example the interior of the ner M3 doesnt feel 55kGBP therfore cant be given 5star etc.
Have you seen the tachy interior in the C63 AMG... Makes the beemer look more then a 55k interior to me....

Yes i have ive driven the E92 M3 for a full weekend, So i suppose i know it quite well. And IT DOES NOT feel 55kGBP. It feels exactly the same as MY07 335d. IMO it should feel special.

I am a friend of a BMW car magazine writer and having now sat in the C63 aswell it feels more upperclass and more expensive, the seats are amazing.

I know you are a BMW owner, so am i, but no need to get defensive and take things personal.

And no need to turn this thread into MB vs. BMW fight! So i please you all to stop it here and if you need to continue, there's Internal Combustion for that.

Thank you.

The black interior of the BMW M3 is a little boring... most black interiors are... The dark carmel beige colour interior which i sat in at my local dealer is simply awesome... Thats defintely a 55k + interior to me...

NB. The M5 interior is simply amazing.. sat in it aswell.. the facelift has turned an average interior into simply one of the best... I love the interior of my 530i which is an facelifted model its amazing.. But the M5 just takes it to the next level...

My point is im hoping this occurs with the 3 series facelift... make the 3 series interior simply amazing because it has potential just needs work on the details

Depends how you see it, the BMW interiors are all similar now, bar the 1series.. imo they don't look good, or sometimes even cheap in photos (especially in black trim and black leather) but they feel and look great in real life. Of course the C63 is different, you can tell by those overstated bodykits which makes it look nearly a track car, and correspondingly the interior is also as overstated as the exterior, which is opposite to the M3.
Damn i still haven't seen the new M3.. :s
