New M3 Due - Ordering
Discussion
Nah wish I did have Pics.
Buying this car is a bit speculative having not seen pics and driven it etc.. but after the experience of BMW and the current M3 the gamble hopefully wont be a bad one ! (fingers crossed)
All I've been told tolday is that it may be a Hardtop Convertible with the Roof Closing similar to the Merc SL etc..and the Engine is a V8.
Shape will be similar to the new 3 series twin turbo according to my dealer.
400 BHP is the figure thrown around at the moment .
This is all subject to confirmation though.
As a guideline the M6 convertible is a year ahead of its estimated delivery time (again according to my dealer ) so hopefully the m3 will follow this timespan.

New M6 convertible is in Auto Express this week. Looks very good indeed.
I have a deposit down, but no idea of the build slot.... I do know I'm No. 7 on the list and they expect some drop outs, so hopefully will get one of the 1st woohoo
I had the E-46 and loved it, so expect even more from the new one. I lost out as I was not on the waiting list and paid a premium and then lost out big time when I sold it. Not doing that again, so got on the new waiting list well early...

I was number 7 on my dealer's list for an M5 and it took a year after they first came out for me to get one.I had the E-46 and loved it, so expect even more from the new one.

I am number 1 at dealer, gonna swop to next CSL though. Current CSL just to good to chop in for next M3. Step backwards for me if I did. Any other CSL owners feel the same?
I'm first on my dealer's list for the next CSL (if they make one, which I don't expect until 2011/11).nickbell3 said:

As a current CSL owner I have both an M3 and E92 CSL on order. If the M3 is good then I will buy it and use as a daily driver, but I'll still keep my CSL. I may trade it in for the next CSL, but it will be at least 5 years old by then and may not be worth the hassle of selling it, so I may still keep it.
The CSL is such a unique driving experience, whereas the E46 M3 is more easily replaced. I would buy the E92 M3 because I'm intrigued by how a 4 litre V8 will feel and not sure I'd like to wait until the CSL version to find out.

Charlie, I find it hard to believe that it would be that far away, which would mean 8 years after the previous CSL had ceased production. Given how M GmbH has gone on record saying that the CSL is exactly the kind of car they intend to make in future, I can't see why they would wait 5 years from now before fulfilling that promise. I could be wrong though.
