M3 pics



These are daytime pics of the M3. The famous kidney grills and the propellor emblem.




The *evil* eye is really mean looking. Need to fit angel eyes later on for angelic night look.


Clean and uncluttered but sexy rears. This will be what other drivers see when they eat dust.




Smiley face.



The gem of the M3, the S54B32 power unit.



Peeping through the kidney grill.




Cockpit.

3/4 rear view.

So Busy driving your M3.....You must have overlooked my email to your phone.....
so How is the car....??
I had to opp to try out the Merc AMG 63.. a bi-turbo unit with about 512hp....Wow what a car...will give the M5 a good run for it money...

The M3:
Nice torque thru' power band, understeers a little, sounds great and fantastic SMG II. A driver's car indeed.

The C63, by the way, is NOT turbocharged. Its powered by a 6.2L normally aspirated V8 putting out 457bhp. Its priced about the same as the E92 M3.

The C63 looks great, and admittedly its the first Merc I have taken some liking to in the looks dept since I saw it at the TYO motor show last year.

oops ... Why Is the unit I test drove has Bi Turbo on its rear tailgate....Its a two door version of the SLR.. AMG 65.. a smaller engine... the AMG 65 unit being a V12......

First time I heard about a bi-turbo...Pity Merc can't squeeze 100bhp/L as BMW can with their M series...in spite of their F1 credentials. I mean how many makers still thinks engines over 5L will sell in these >$100 barrel days?
