Oldskool meets Nuskool: E30 M3 and F87 M2

raysspl · 12-14-2015, 02:17 PM

Nice comparo

TreDirtyFive · 12-14-2015, 02:38 PM

every time I see this color photographed it looks way off from what i have seen in person...this is more like what I have seen (adjusted OP's image). Am I crazy? Maybe it's diffusion from the cloudiness in that scene and the lack of iridescence from direct sunlight to pull out that teal.

I take the old school

chris719 · 12-14-2015, 02:50 PM

I don't know why but the pics always look more blue and less green than IRL.

Wolf · 12-14-2015, 03:19 PM

agreed, LBB has a lot more green in person than in pics, from what I saw IRL.

It seemed like that guy was joking when he posted that in the Canadian pricing thread.I went around the parking lot and into the building and there was no M2.The only other place it would be at BMW Canada is in a parking garage under the building and I didn't notice that the building had one.

Agreed. More green in real life.

That M3 parks like a douche...

Nice angles and working the M3 around. Though I do find it strange the M2 is being compared more to the E30 M3 than the current F8x... lol

classyfast · 12-14-2015, 09:37 PM

I would take that e30M over any car BMW has produced in the last 10 years....

Where is this parking lot? I've got ideas for pictures.

I've never seen LBB in person, but in my experience colors that look different depending on lighting tend to have metal flake that is another color.

Artemis did include the link in his original post, but for some reason the mod decided to remove it. Just to be clear.

That's exactly what I was thinking... I don't get all the hate.

I think the best suspension for E46 and E92 was the non-adaptive one.

The plastic roof with carbon fiber on it would look nice but really wouldn't do much for the driving experience.

Power bulge in the hood would be too much for this car in my opinion, would have been nice with the M-mirrors but it's not a deal breaker.

We will never see any NA S-engines again, so if anyone wants a "proper" M-car - buy an E46 M3.

Not sure why this is odd. Size matters.

The current F8x M4 would look terrific in comparison with an E24 M6.
