I don't dig the "Bangle"ized M3 but damn I would kill for those wheels! :shock:
to me it looks like they copied the rx-8 some... but added back in the stupid beemer grille.
Actually, the upcoming 3/4 Series is the first "Bangle-ized" BMW I actually like so far, although the 6 Series Coupe isn't bad.
Besides, shouldn't that read M4, keeping with BMW's new nomeclature - even numbers for 2 doors, odd numbers for 4 doors?
I believe that the M3 was going to stay the M3 due to brand recognition. I've forgotten where I read that...Quote:

There was a push among BMW top ranks to change the series nomecalture... although I don't know if it failed in committee. I do know the M3 will be remaining the M3 again due to brand recognition. I'll see if I can't dig that article up....Quote:

3 Series, 5 Series, 7 Series, upcoming 1 Series, X3, X5 - all sedans or 4-door wagons/hatchbacks/SUVs.
Z4 (ever wonder why they didn't call it the new Z3?), 6 Series (coupe & convertible versions of the new 5 Series), upcoming 2 Series (coupe & 2-door hatch versions of the new 1 Series), upcoming 4 Series - all coupes or convertibles with 2 doors.
Here's an Autoweek story (LINK) concerning the next M5... still with the old naming system.
But's not the article I was looking for... Still looking...
I don't know if I like the look of any of Bangle's creations....
Wowza, sounds like the new M5 will be a screamer!
The M5 is a four-door, so of course it is going to retain the odd-number designation, doofus. :PQuote:
