Awesome Thanks for the new page! Now all I'm waiting for are the US prices!

Thanks!! The M3 also have a power button - great! White looks like one of the best colours for this coupé, but I think this car is also extremely hot, when it is black coloured.

MickeyTER

will there be an automatic? or only manual?

Just_me

manual but in MArs 2008 there will be a new gearbox called ZSG, kinda like Audis DSG but better and more advanced

shonguiz

The white looks much better, are weels different ?

NarutoRamen

The closest thing you're going to get to an automatic is the dual clutch ZSG. Automatic transmission doesn't belong on ///M cars.

Just_me

looks like M5 wheels to me

shonguiz

They are very similar but i think they are not the same.
