As much as I'm not partial to the e36 M3, I think that one looks great. Its crying for some Contours though. DS2 FTL!!

contours are mad homo
The DS2s look good on that car

i voted blue cause i don't want any more white e46 m3's around.

let me finish claybaring and waxing it, then i'll throw a few up. It's coming along nicely, but i'm quickly running out of stuff to do to it........

that's what i want too but no one is wanting to sell me there's. damn them!!!!!! :mad

Alpine white on cinnamon is what I'd go with. IB is damn near close, but I'd pick one of those two. Probably which ever I could find with the interior that I wanted.

I took some pictures of mine just now. I'll post them up tomorrow when i get to work. AW/CINN with CF interior trim.

miles are a little high but it is CPO's and the clutch/flywheel have already been replace. Looks very clean too...

OK, here is mine for reference:

Ruby Metallic? I need to look that one up.

you forgot carbon and LSB and phoenix, noob.

you forgot carbon and LSB and phoenix, noob.

the crayola colors didn't make his top 4 I guess.......

I used to like LSB till I saw it in person. Phoenix also looks good when it is clean.

Carbon is classicly good looking. I went white on mine due to the fact that I hardly ever see white E46 M3's.

read the poll question again. these are MY top 4 choices.

Ruby Metallic? I need to look that one up.

tried to find a pic of it there is one on m3forums., I saw one once, it is slightly more red than Mora

Fuck, I have seen 6 stock ones in like the last week.

Black.. its a classy clean color

however, its a pain in the ass to keep clean

you need to drive by shops at legacy on friday/sat. night, you'll probably count about 10 white e46 m3s within 1/2 mile radius. But you're right, most E46 in DFW seem to be either black or silver.

i don't think i've ever seen an e46 m3 at the shops at legacy, and i used to go there all the time, a friend lived in the apartments behind it. usually cars there are far more expensive than an M3.

OK ed, how come you contradict everyhting anyone says lately? I see far more black and silver M3's than anything else. I drive 100-150 miles a day, every day and I've only seen 3 other white E46 M3's in person in the last 3 months.

I've seen one in the last year and that includes driving a ton in austin.
there are a trillion e46ms in austin.

contradict?:confused i simply pointed out that there are tons of white e46 m3s, its not like they're exotics sir, dont like it? paint it camo.

ok. I think tons is an exageration. I saw 2 black E46 M3's yesterday on my way south on 75. That would be deemed as a ton in my book. it's been months sine i've seen another white one.

I think since it's conception I've seen...3?

I see dead people, does that count? :dunno

Seriously though, I see more black or silver M3s than anything else. I honestly don't know that I've EVER seen a white one other than Jeff's, and even that's only in pictures.

drive around downtown, granted they are all AW/BK, I saw today, some younger kid driving an SMG and a guy in his mid thirties, both between Deep Ellum and Addison.

But yes cb/jb and tiag out number every other color down here.

only one ive seen was in a driveway in euless and 2 hobos were pulling the rims and brakes off the car while it was on stands. i minded my own business and finished my pizza while i watched. :D

no, he owns an R8 along with everyone else in Dallas and Collin County :stickoutt

Psh, what was I thinking?! Of course! Who DOESN'T have one of those?? (Is it weird that I really don't care about that car at all? I kinda consider it the 30-thousand-dollar-millionaire's dream car. Probably just me though, everyone else seems to share the overall feeling that it's badass).

NM, I thought Hobo #2 was Mark. I was sssooooooo wrong!

I 100% appreciate what I have and don't take it for granted, it's all been earned. I don't expect for people to think any of our cars are the be-all end-all or anything, but I enjoy them, just as I suspect that the R8 owners love what they have otherwise they wouldn't have bought them! I personally just don't care for them, that's all.

Until Audi shows us some shit and puts a powerful diesel in it, most people will take it for another sports/supercar.

were you a professional paintballer too, thats the trend nowadays :shifty

i must have missed a memo!!!

haha just giving you a hard time steph! although that comment in the spotting section wasnt cool. :(

doubt they'll put a diesel in it, not for U.S. at least. V10 is coming though.

I got mad skillz yo. (Ok, in reality, if I ever got hit by a paintball I'd cry and run away). And don't worry, I can take what I dish out, we're cool :D

Yeah well. Its the phoenix option. Bursts into flame, you buy a new one!

well Lambos catch on fire all the time, so who knows...

all the time? I've seen a few ferraris catch fire at race tracks, but never a lambo. How do I keep missing all these common occurances? All the white E46 M3's, lambos spontaniously combusting etc? Or is this all internet based information, obviously skewed by the self perpetuating internet myth theory?

www.wreckedexotics.com have a great time on there. As far as white e46 m3s, they just blend into other white cars so you just dont notice them:)

and yes, Ferraris catch on fire too, but last time I checked R8 shares nothing with Ferrari.

you douches over took the intention of my thread!!! JK. figured it would happen b/c raza chimed in. =)

Please...threads get hijacked over here like it's an EL AL flight out of Syria

I voted Interlagos Blue. I'm not ashamed to admit it.


And we're back on track, just like that! BAM!

where have you been, it has already been announced that it will have the V12 TDi

http://www.leftlanenews.com/tdi-version-of-audi-r8-due-in-2009.html

Today Audi brought some more of its Le Mans-conquering technology to the street in the form of the new R8 V-12 TDI. The R8 V12 TDI is a concept that melds the 6.0L V-12 diesel from last years Q7 concept with the award winning R8 sports car. The concept engine shares a cylinder count with the race-winning R10, but it's actually a completely new engine with a 60-degree bank angle instead of the 90 degrees used on the race engine. While the 500 hp is only par for the course in its class, the 738 lb-ft of torque is enough to shred all four tires with ease. While the R8 V12 TDI storms to 62mph in 4.2 seconds and maxes out at 186mph, it also manages to get 23 MPG. The combination of a 29,000-psi direct-inject fuel injection system, particulate filters and urea injection allows this beast to pass 2014 EuroVI emissions standards, too. Check out our live high-res images of the R8 V12 TDI in the gallery below. These are our best shots from the show so far, so enjoy!

where have you been, it has already been announced that it will have the V12 TDi

http://www.leftlanenews.com/tdi-version-of-audi-r8-due-in-2009.html

if they can get that thing certified for 48 states, it would be awsome, although i can just see some people's reaction to TDI "Diesel in exotic? no waaiii!!! it must be slow! give me a 8mpg gasoline engine instead."

the interior on the new Audi's are just plain badass.

those pictures look to have a 4.5k rpm redline, a 6 spd and a diesel engine. Thats is going to be alot of shifting. unless it is geared tall, and the 186 mph top speed is just a limited top speed.
