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. |

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 . Edited by Sporty1 |
