I thought the last gen m3 was brilliant like most. The v-8 will be missed. New model looking good!

I agree as well. The V8 was awesome.

so come on, Toyota....resurrect your turbo greatness
Amen. Let's see the Supra rightfully retake it's place on the field. Maybe it'd spark other Japanese makes to wake up. So much we lost, Celica, MR2, Supra, Eclipse (the good AWD Turbo ones), 3000GT, 240sx, 300ZX, RX-7, NSX, S2000

Maddening that Lexus isn't sure about another IS-F just because the RC-F will be out. Both are quintessential to F's success

I agree, I would never want one for a daily driver but for a weekend car it would be ok

For the BMW fanboys who hated on the ISF, that M3 looks pretty "boy racer" to me with vents and creases all over the place.

The color itself doesn't look near as regal or rich as USB

BMW said they will offer more vibrant colors as part of their standard color choices for the M3/4.

Cant pls everyone - ppl complain no matter whaf.

Good thing about BMW is Individual program - they will paint you car in any color u want just need a lil more $$$$$.

That blue is not for me though.

This car should be PERFECT for a daily driver.
Main benefit of the turbo is more usable torque curve and much better MPG.

It's available as long as you want it and have money to pay for it.

For instance, here's a Java Green M3 in a BMW dealership located in ARIZONA, USA
