Hey guys, i just heard from a coworker who just returned from the L.A. area, that one of his buddies there was quoted a DELIVERY DATE of Nov. 17th, 2005 for delivery of the E90 M3. :shock:

I would like to know if this dealer was confused and quoted him a date for the standard E90, or if this was indeed for the M3.

It's not mentioned on centernet so i can't confirm through BMW's channels wether this is true or not. So if there is anyone in California that would be so kind as to swing by their local Bimmer dealer and find out for me, that would be great

I'm taking this with a grain of salt ATM just due to the fact that this is the fastest M release ever. normally the M's follow the series release by 2-3 years.

(i would ask the salesmen here, but they are all retarded and couldn't tell you a delivery date even if the transport truck was right outside :roll: )

LOLOLOL

Unfortunately, not in California... hope someone else can help you on that!

That's impossible. The 330ci (coupe) won't be released here in the UK until NEXT YEAR. That's official from BMW. No way are they going to release the M3 before the coupe.

see, that's what i thought. I had a feeling the sales guy in Cali was wrong (all that smog starts to fuck with your head apparently

) He probably meant to say Nov, 2006 instead of '05, going by Mindgam3's release date.

Closer to 2015 would have surprised me less. I doubt it. But i sure hope im wrong!

Do you know how to do simple math? The E60 was introduced as an '04 model. the E60 M5 is going to be an '06 model. 6-4=2! wow, what a revelation! :roll:

LMAO @ Coombsie

might as well wait for the 6th generation 3 series then

Yeah, exactly. It is usually at least 2 years because BMW stagger release of their lines.

First year will be Sedans only, then Coupes the year after (MY2007), so the M3 would be released as a 2008 Model, but you might get it in 2007.

The E36 had to wait 3 years for the M version in US. The E46 had a similar two year wait.

wait and see, but i think mid 2006.

gobs3z · 02-11-2005, 05:56 PM

Umm.... the way i understood it is the 3 series is a four door car and there is not coupe because the 4 series is the coupe version of the 3 series. So aren't we technically waiting for the M4, unless your waiting for a four door version which would be an M3. So i could see it happening, but i havn't seen any real pics or spy pics so i have no clue.

ZfrkS62 · 02-12-2005, 12:22 AM

I don't think the US is going to get a 4 series. I am sure there will be a 3 coupe. I don't think they will have the M3 as a 4 door, but they did it with the E36 M3 so who knows. I'm waiting for them to put up more info on the internal site.

Sir_GT · 02-12-2005, 12:48 AM

The last I heard, the 4 series was canned simply because BMW felt that the name "M3" carried so much weight with it, and there was simply no need to confuse consumers by releasing the super popular M3 as the M4. And IIRC, this is indeed official.
