M4 for me, love the coupé lines. M3 is still a fine looking car, but saloon is a bit big for me.

 

[tomscott]

I would have either…

Love the saloon and with the prices of the E90 M3 would def have one!

Nice colours!!

Can't say that either floats my boat. Big heavy taxis. :thumbsdown:

But then my kids are all growed up sir, so two seats is all that is required.

 

[Maniac]

No kids here, but a dog, which I adore and need a bit of space for... so either would float my boat, they're the closest to the concept in this guise. So my poor dog may soon look like this;



Though if she scraped the leather like that..... well...

£56k

So you never really looked at how much M's were then? They don't start at 40K that's for sure, that's mainstream BMW territory.

 

[Talksthetorque]

Surprise me, just leave either on the drive and pop the keys through the letter box

 

[tomscott]

Good price 40k less than a 911 and similar performance with 4 proper seats

That's been my Desk top photo, since it was posted up the other day. Love it.

M4 in a heartbeat.!!!! It's awesome

Stability clutch control to reduce understeer - cool 8)

£290 road tax at the emissions levels quoted, right ? Also cool 8)

Smokey burnout - didn't that just used to be called 'DSC Off' ??? :roll:

Electro-mechanical steering - not sure if that's very cool... :?

Tell you what, they should stick that engine in a special limited edition end-of-life e89 ///M in 2 or 3 years :evil:

Prefer the look of the M4, just, though I don't like what they have done to the wing mirrors and the ///M badge on the kidney grille that is becoming a design feature is a bit 'meh' for me - I'd take it off :lol:

And is that a resurrection of Phoenix Yellow I spy ?

Hate to be picky, but I'm pretty sure centrifugal force would have the dog pinned at one side of the car or the other

Not if it's doing donuts

 

[Bing]

I'll give you that

 

[ocrx8]

Prefer the look of the M3, then again I preferred the E90 over the E92/3 as well.

If the DSC is off and the car is doing Doughnuts. Then this pic is perfectly believable to me. Bringing back memories of Sunday's run out now.

Loving the M4. It will be a bit too ubiquitous for my liking though and I think it will depreciate like a stone. But, I'm down for a launch day invite. Hopefully they'll do what they did when the E89 was launched, and invite me to Bedford Autodrome to drive the Z4 on a 30 minute test-drive around Bedford and then take the E92 M3 on track, free breakfast and lunch!

Rumours already of a CSL-style version.

I think the price isn't bad when you compare it to C63's, RS4/5's etc. They are all in the same ballpark.
