They are the same rubber that comes on the M3 CSL that you have to sign a disclaimer agreeing that you understand they have no traction in the wet. So i wouldn't really call them street slicks but yeah they are semi-slicks... (if i owned the car i'd have more of an all-weather tyre on them though)

I must say you are the most observant woman i've known who has an interest in cars!
Impressed i am.

astra · 03-07-2007, 04:28 AM

oops, semi-slicks is what i meant *blushes*

one day i'm gonna drive an m3....one day

e46 m3 was my fave car for such a very long time - it'll be hard to move on so hopefully this new m3 will be something special

Why does everyone have doubts anout ASTRA

Anyway Chilli the new M3 from just those concept pics look

docbeemer · 03-07-2007, 06:23 PM

I love m3's but this CONCEPT looks like a rice mobile with the massive powerdome and air intakes on the hood. Love the cf, but what's with the interior- it looks so disjointed. The trim on the dash doesn't match the cf in the centre console. What's with the pedals and shifter knob?

Suede wheel looks better for CSL, not stock M3. Seats are niiiice! I know many wont agree but I dont like the csl wheels- I think wheels with deeper rims would look better (composite wheels anyone?). Dropping the fog lights was good but the front still looks NQR. The back view is the best IMHO but where is the M3 badge? Not convinced about it BUT it is a concept and I will reserve my final verdict on the real thing (I wouldn't pre-order one, if I could afford it, based on what I've seen so far).

Still waiting for the numbers. Weight & performance....

*sigh* i have already been through this "are you really a chick thing.." ages back there was a pic of me on some thread... lol, even chris posted

so ask him about it

but if anyone find it, which i hope they don't, i don't have brown hair anymore

and just cos i am a chick, doesn't mean i don't know some things about cars, ok?

Looks hot, will unfortuantly be too far over priced. You'd be mad to pay $170k+ for one when you can jump into a 997 for the same money

astra · 03-08-2007, 04:23 AM

^^ yep, i agree... shame we don't have that US pricing now

Chris.G · 03-08-2007, 05:29 AM

^ WTF over 170k isn't worth it IMO.

A 997 for 170k!!!! WHERE?? I WANT ONE!
You can't get into a decent new 997 for under $240k! (you do need options on them, as base sucks ass) believe me i've priced one!
So 170k for the upcoming M3 cabrio is an absolute steal!
