Don't think that red, Imola is it, does it any favours IMO.

hmm..silver/grey or black may be a better colour with the carbon roof. I'm not that impressed with exterior styling, side gills look pants and bonnet vents not suited to bmw only jap cars. Lacks a more muscular appearance IMO. No doubt it will be a BEAST of a car to drive tho 20" wheels may be better suited too (fill them arches.. |

Looks great in that rear three quarters view with a bit of oversteer thrown in.
I like it, the wheels are a bit odd though. |

Whatever colour it is the car looks wrong IMO. The silver/grey from Geneva looked much better. Edited by Sporty1 |

Looks much better in a silver/grey/black/blue/white. I don't like the overall styling of the new 3 series, but the Coupes look OK. I am sure the lines on the M3 will look fine in the flesh on the road. At least now its easier to spot a genuine M3 in your rear view mirror with that Carbon roof, thats a class act by BMW. (The modified E36 1.8's with the M3 kits on always make me look twice lol). Can't wait for the Top Gear review on it and then have it in a shootout with a few other competitors. |

we know it will go, and that colour is a disaster but the big question is will it
stop? |

Imola is a Racing circuit, Melbourne is a place - either way it's still
Red! (and the Australian version is horrid) |

Will it stop? Are you infering to the colour scheme or as in brakes????? I'm sure with the same e60 M5 discs that are supposedly going on....we can assume that it will stop and very quick!! What makes you think the colur schemes are a disaster? Explain please Tiko |

We'll have to wait and see about the stopping............. Don't believe anyone has said that the whole colour scheme is a disaster.... a number of people have however said that that red, Melbourne, or what ever it is does not suit the car and is a disaster. But that would just be their/my opinions, if you like that red then fine. Edit: The dark wheels and red car may be why it looks wrong, not quite sure. Edited by Sporty1 |

I just meant In my opion that red is not a good colour for it. as for the
stopping I was refering to the brakes even if they are the M5 item they will be heavy cast iron jobbies I can't help thinking that they should just put a call into Brembo and be let them sort it out. |

IMO the light colours definitely suit it the best, i.e. light grey, light blue or white only.
Dark colours do nothing for it. Maybe a designer out there can explain why dark colurs suit some cars and light colours suit others. Maybe white is the new black. |
