haha I can't believe they are waiting until April to release this thing. Seems absurd to me. Its like they tried to take launch cues from tech companies like Apple and Google, and then realized they were still an auto manufacturer.

Ballsy haha. I was afraid someone was going to come out and yell at me

Looks more blue here in your shots. I captured both affects. To my eyes it looked more green that the shots I took with my SLR camera.

You've got a sick M3. The picture of them together is just epic.

Does anyone know the purpose of concealing all the emblems/badging? Is it because it's technically still a 'test' vehicle and not a real BMW product?

Yes, I believe it is for legal reasons. It's not because they don't want people to know it's a BMW like everyone on here likes to laugh about. Lol.

This particular M2 must feel like a rockstar.

Thanks for the pics! LBB is growing on me...

Yeah, the interior was nice. Seats are a little boring, but the stitching is a nice touch. It looked more blue in person. Maybe due to the overcast. The front bumper is something that I think has to grow on you. Dont love it yet..

Thanks for the compliments on my E46. Still my favorite body style.

Here's a pic of it. It's Ferrari Grigio Medio.

Thanks for the shots, esp of the interior!
I like the blue stitching but it looks like a turquoise blue similar to LBB. Wish they went with one of the blues that matches the ///M tri color...

This, my friends, is the difference between fender flares and a fender "bulge"


The E46 is such a timeless car, I never get tired of looking at them.

thanks for the pictures. BMW is getting a lot of good cheap marketing by just parking this car in the same spot. I love the dedication on these forums!

Aha, M2 6MT in the wild, at last.

Now let's find an M2 in another color before all the LBB overkill becomes Long Beach Boring.

That's the reason the F80 looks better than the F82 in my humble, yet totally correct opinion.

Yup. I can't believe the e46 M3 is an over 15 year old design, it's aged so well.

Agree. The M2 is looking good, pretty awesome even... but the E46 M3 is a classic, timeless masterpiece IMO. This one is spectacular!

Does look pretty low. Wonder if it's bagged and dropped for parking. Looking mean.
