2008 BMW M3. Andalusia, Spain.
Winding Road has an excellent movie clip they produced at the M3 launch in Spain earlier in the year. Very, very nicely done.

New M3 not good enough for "the internets"!
Below is the first intelligent sum up of the new 2008 M3 I have seen, courtesy of Autocar.
Unbelievable is the amount of belly aching and whining I have been reading about this new car on message boards:
"First E92M3 test figures, dissapointing..."writes one noted poster complaining that one magazine clocked the M3 at a measly 4.4 sec 0-60.
Never mind that the quoted article goes on to say that "The surface wasn’t ideal, however, and we expect even better numbers once we get one to our usual test track." A good example of why reading internet message boards can make you stupid.
Lots of opinion seems to be given without any hard data....we like data.
Anyway, for some reasonable, intelligent opinion...

Some will have to eat crow I think....
Fat Bastard markII will not really be so fat after all. No lightweight but far, far from Audi-like at 3483lbs (1580 kg) the e92 2008 M3 will also have a three setting active suspension with 14.2-inch discs front and 13.8-inch rear brake disks rounding out the features of interest to our readers...

New M3 (E92) Debuts at Geneva Auto Show
Those sounds you hear? Those are softly sobbing engineers, marketeers, and product planners in Stuttgart and Ingolstadt. Their nightmare won't be ending anytime soon.
The new BMW M3, based on the E92 3 Series platform has made its debut at the Geneva Auto Show in "concept" form. Those who remember the not-so-far-in-the-past launch of the E60 M5 will know that "concept" is apparently a Bavarian codeword that means "different mirrors und funny color."

The car appears pretty aggressive, sporting a CF roof a-la M6, and lightweight wheels and Michelin SportCups (are you kidding me?), and reports from the hall that it sounded ridiculous when driven in by Andy Priaulx.
No word yet on the curb weight, and honestly that's all the Axis of Oversteer cares about. So we'll keep you posted as more information becomes available.
