That's what I was thinking!! The CSL wheels that they had on the concept car looked spot on!!!

Got to agree that red version looks like a halfords special. Black wheels look ok on a rally style car but not on a gorgeous upmarket high speed track car. Not on a bmw anyway. Except for the 330i that BMW car are running. The CSL wheels look much better in my opinion anyway. The grey also looks far better.

Overall though I'm not entirely convinced. Not by the pics anyway. I felt the same when the coupe first came out but now I have seen a few black ones with nice big alloys, it is totally growing on me. I have even seen a few nicely kitted up saloons. Have you noticed the rear arches on the saloons are more pronounced and look better than the coupe's with big wheels in them?

But I have to say that I remember when the E46 M3 came out. I loved that as soon as I laid my eyes on the pics!

There's a night and day difference between the 'official' pictures of the red car and the 'concept' from Geneva.

Brilliant

I have an Imola red e46 m3 and to be honest its not a colour that everyone likes at first but after a while it grows on you....

Paint the roof red and change those wheels and it'll be a savage looking car and as for the drive I think we all know what that'll be like!

I don't like the new three much, saloon, vert or coupe but you're right about tricked up saloons - I have a begrudging admiration for the 320si... especially in white. The alloys on it are great.
