It's "OK".

Hardly a huge step forward.

The fact BMW have introduced stop/start to the M3 in "just" a LCI is a considerable step forward... for an LCI. No one would have had any complaints if all BMW did was fit new carbon bits to it for the LCI.

I think people are missing the point of what a "face lift" is. The face lift tarts up the old. It doesn't invent something new

What is this madness, a modern BMW I actually like the look of?!

The 320 specific model that gets this acclaim in the press? Or other ED variants?

The other ED variants though I see no reason why they'd suddenly begin to actually match quoted economy

Super Awesome Amazing Blue

I do wish more BMW's were bought in colours other than black and silver

Fett · 4 Mar 2010 at 20:10

Watch first, then ask.

That is a really nice colour under those lights. Hope it's not like Sprint blue which is nice under lights and in promo shots but falls totally flat in the flesh.

Gearstick looks lost.

Just getting the technical stuff out of the way.

Its the same monte carlo blue as foud in the current M3 edition

its an individual colour, rather than a competition pack one. So awesome, but people only every buy them in black or silver, and ocasionally white

Want. Must agree with the bland comment though , it does look boring.

Epically boring looking car - BMW has totally lost it's way when it comes to aethetics. Entirely not something to look forward to. IMO the 2001 M3 was the best looking.

Yep - bland. Starting to become like the Audi range.

That blue looks fantastic, it's about time people give up on the monochrome look and buy cars in COLOURS.

Good friend at work just bought an M3 Monte Carlo identical to this and finally has had his first service, awesome car.

Yeah I agree - it's all a bit pedestrian. Ironically I think they should be taking queues from the Japanese cars coming out now - Something a bit more exciting - just the right side of bonkers like the new GTR.

I saw one in this colour comming out of Sytner Solihull yesterday, it's very vivid in the flesh, almost like someone has gone to work on it in Photoshop

grudas · 4 Mar 2010 at 21:49
