New M3 saloon spotted testing yesterday

[rossb]

was in munich yesterday - saw two blue saloons cruise up at a brisk pace in the rear view. as an e90 v8 n/a screamer advocate was expected to be underwhelmed by sound - and although not as spine curling as an S65 - did not sound to bad at all when the drivers clogs went down and they resumed their testing activities - sorry for crap phone pix:

Did you guys not have a little roll on race??

Was in a friends oil burner X5 as a passenger - not the m3 - but i doubt that in a roll on - with the new cars lighter weight/greater torque from the twin snails - the e90 would be able to keep up - but although the new one really did sound much better than i expected - it did not match the opera that comes with s65 - especially with the back box mod.

i liked the colour too - sort of reminiscent of the riviera blue you get on some pork gt3. the colour with the pumped arches made you realise the car was a bit of hot rod. anyway on first impressions - despite being firmly in luddite/manual/nat asp screamer camp - have to grudgingly admit in the flesh the new car caused a bit of lustful thinking...
