I like Chris Bangle's work it is a great new edge on styling. Though it is a little contraversial.

I agree. His styling is "love it or hate it" and I am one of the few people that LOVES it ever time. The only cheracteristic I question in the new M3 is the are bleow the hood that dips down into the bumper opening; the part that holds the plates.

It looks alright, but the V8 kills it for me. I'm a huge fan of the inline 6, and replacing it with a V8 seems kind of like an easy way out. If TVR can make a 4.0 Inline 6 that makes 400hp, I know BMW can. But I guess change is necessary, and I'm sure the V8 will be fast. It just doesn't make me think M3.

It's a little too busy for my taste, but I'm sure the production version will look much better. I bet the license plate area will be different and that groove in the hood will be 86'd. I like the shape of it and the headlights look bad-****
