If you put down a deposit two months ago, you are way down the queue. There are loads of people who put down deposits two or three years ago. Some will, however, drop out.
Expect a price of around £50k before options. It is expected to be shown, in concept form at least, at Geneva next month.

Anyone else got a deposit on a new M3 yet?
I put down 2k a month ago,
Info is non existant, so any links would be useful.
I have been told to expect a price between 43 and 58k!!!!!

My Dealer told me they only had 3 deposits about a month ago. Saw an article on the car and think it looks really bland. I was told they have done that on purpose for some reason. Prefer to put my cash into an M5, M6 or CSL instead

that's a long wait...but if you "used" to also a E46 M3 I think the new car is very nice with a big V8 under the bonnet...hope you get it soon and tell us all about the differences in feel and build compared to a E46 M3. GTRene

Most alleged 'spy-pics' on the web seem to be of a 4-door version...
This is from a German car magazine and seems fairly realistic even if photo-shopped...

I have a mag where they have pics of the new M3 in blue. I'll see if i can scan them if no one has seen them
Edited to say i can't scan them in as all the pics are over both pages.

I'll certainly try my best!
My old M3 was a great piece of kit... it had a power upgrade by West Tuning also (Extra 35bhp and de-limited). I was always aware that there was a long wait for the new M3 and to be honest i didn't care... I've usually got 2 or 3 cars 'on order' at any one time, always cars with big waiting lists. This way i can take delivery, put a few thousand miles on them and sell whilst theres a profit to be had. Worst case scenario, i'll break even... not bad for 6-12months in the lastest 'must have'. In reality i'm an enthusiast and love to drive the latest cars but (like all of us) HATE to lose loads of money everytime i sell!
I've got a funny feeling i may end up keeping the new M3 for a bit longer than i originally planned though!
Can't wait.

Because they'll make more money selling M sport look a like kits on the lower models, something that was possible on the last M3.

It was just a photoshop, run the number plate through the DVLA etc, its actually a 335i.

I like the sound too
almost a crossing between a M3 CSL and a can-am car? I like the sound, now waiting for the real sound( my Hartge 5.0 V8 sounds really nice tooGassing Station | M Power | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
