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

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.

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

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.

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..)
