Pics of New E92 M3...

If the new E92 really does end up looking like this then I think someone needs to lynch Chris Bangle b/c that front bumper looks absolutely HIDEOUS!!! First the 7 series design, then the 5 series and now Chris Bangle manages to screw up the new M3 - OUCH...

In another Bimmer forum someone posted asking if anyone knew where Chris Bangle lived and it wasn't to join him for a cup of tea!

I wanted to buy one but not anymore! The only thing holding me back is that it doesn't have badges, has some strange thing covering the front end, and I don't like the rims. Too bad, count me out!

Rims look nice. I like the fat tire look. Wicked brake setup it seems. Nice quad exhaust and decent looking rear.

The front though... I'll need more pictures.

Frankly, the M3 photos were just not properly taken. The E92 is not a bad looking car.

The BMW interior quality is always a big disappointment. The seats are never more comfortable than Benz. I am lucky enough to only pay a 330i E90 to realize that, not again for a one million HKD M3 E92.
I will stick with my original plan for a black color C63 in 2008.

I can assure you thats not the real front bumper, and I almost want to say those aren't the real stock wheels either. I have a feeling it was some kind of test car, hence no badges. I like the rear end, I think this one will look sweet. Slap some 19" wheels, exhaust, and voila. Look how mean it is looking from the front (the 9th pic). One thing thats missing is the fender grille.
