Here are the pics, the rest of the pics including interior shots are hosted on my site. Enjoy!

Basically they took the 335i which is a beautiful car in my opinion and
made it hideous... Quite the accomplishment there

The one thing that made the M3 stick out more than others is the stance. This M3 sits too high, too much wheel gap. I do like the 335 though.

Would have been nice to see a side shot. It looks ok...I do agree the stance is on the high side.

Well, these are still mules. There are more pics, click the link in the quote. These mules don't have the standard 19s.

Wasn't there a thread stating that the 335 out performs the new M3?

What's the point?

Much rather have the 335i.

Too much wheel gap? maybe they raised the car to go 4wheeling, ever thought of that?

the hood bump looks like a tumor from the side profile

I agree about the stance as well, definitely not M3 like...

i dont understand how u let a dent in the hood out of the factory...the new m3 is very ugly IMO, but i kno there will be some aftermarket parts to help enhance it.

however, once i saw the 335i was comin tt-charged...the m3 kind of just phases out. the potential of a tt 335i, i believe is far better than that of the m3. plus the 335i is just beautiful.

I agree it's a step down from the E46 in looks. The 335i coupe in person is not bad, but the rear end looks very bland, even though not as ugly as that of the sedan's.
