So the magazine shots were real I take it.

Actually no, a Car Magazine employee even responded to those pics, saying they were computer based - http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13337

front looks like a clever, sneaky, maybe even slightly evil grin to me ... almost like 'I'm gonna kick your a$$ ... and you're going to like it'

and the back end looks like it's saying 'see ya' *wink & laugh*

in short: love the look

that concept picture isnt the deal though

this is what the spyshot shows

as the ppl on that M3 board kindly pointed out :D

^^^ Shouldnt they be using that pic for the Z4 or something? lol

It's strange that everyone hates on the newer BMW designs but strangely I like only the 6 and Z4 coupes. :dunno:
Others think that those two are atrocities.

oh those fenders :) they're HUGE

Can't wait to see the IS-F vs M3 shootouts!

Well I think the 6 is pretty nice & the Z4 is an absolute abomination. The 6 series & the 3 series(coupe only, not the sedan) without that big mouth shark front bumper are the only current BMW's that I can like.

looks real good here

looks real good here

I'm sure there'll be aftermarket bumpers that look like the M5 one for the new m3 or e92 coupe.

If that is what the M3 is going to look like than I think the IS-F makes a bold statement and looks alot better!

I don't like the back and the side shot. The front, however, is good. The overall image just doesn't scream M3! The older model looks alot better than this one.....:(

Why sad? This just makes the IS-F intro that much better!
