I was passing by the local BMW dealership last night and what did I see? YES...it was the first all new M3 sitting in the back of the lot. I talked with the guy who preps the cars and he said that they rolled it off the truck a few hours ago and were going to prep it first thing in the morning. He said come back tomorrow morning for a test drive!!! Yahooo!!!

Here are some pictures that I shot of the car last night.

Thomas,

Thanks for the pics!! I am still not impressed by that blue... but I wouldn't complain if it was in my driveway!!

I agree...LSB would look better if it was in my driveway:cool:

A lot of people have said that they hate the color. I am pretty neutral about it myself. Like you said, if it were in my driveway I wouldn't be complaining!

:cool:

Cool pics - a little close ... I don't know if I would want my car to be smurf blue, but you see the inside more often while driving!

Now why couldn't BMW have offered the Orient Blue metallic like the one on the 540i's instead of LSB? I almost can't even bare to look at the M3 in this color.

Thanks for the pics. I like how you can see the springs in that last one:)
