I've reloaded this thread everytime there's been a reply and u know what after seeing it many many times it's growin on me a bit... it does make the front more agressive and beefier. That back ain't bad either.

I don't like the grey plastic backpiece and the touring looks like an X3, it stands too high on it's wheels..
The front looks ok..

davinet78 · 07-12-2005, 06:06 AM

not impressive at all come on bmw you can do much better than that

res_ipsa · 07-12-2005, 07:28 AM

Any chance of them updating this at all? Was the M-aerodynamic kit for the E46 ever updated? I'm hoping they update this a bit. Why doesn't BMW ask us what people like, they'd have a much better design in the end if they did

scottz5 · 07-12-2005, 07:30 AM

Its not like I want to sell my car for it. I think ours look better. Is it just me or is it a like ricey?

res_ipsa · 07-12-2005, 07:34 AM

Doesn't look ricey to me.. just looks blocky and uninspired. Could be so much more stylish.

scottz5 · 07-12-2005, 07:44 AM

Well it is not classy and sporty as the bumpers before it.

Tierfreund · 07-12-2005, 09:01 AM

Is it just me or are others reminded of the Volvo (V70) Cross-Country setup ? More an offraod-Package than a sports-package

scottz5 · 07-12-2005, 09:10 AM

With the gray, Yes

johnsh39 · 07-12-2005, 10:19 AM

Spoke to my dealer earlier today. He received these pictures overnight and suggested UK build would be available from Sept 9th. Pricing starts from £31,500k

Waiting for a price on my X5 3.0D Sport to swap and am number 10 on the list for a new M3. Can't wait!!!

E90Fleet · 07-12-2005, 10:34 AM

Just had it confirmed there will be Carbon Friber lips for the font bumper and a carbon fiber cover for the silver bit in the rear bumper available for dealer fitment when the kit comes out

SCA · 07-12-2005, 10:47 AM

Not feeling it at all for this package. The wheels nor the bumper covers.

JBOO · 07-12-2005, 12:50 PM

You can compare pictures of the 5 seried sport kit that were taken in a similar fashion here 5 Series M Sport

JBOO · 07-12-2005, 01:32 PM

It's not just the 3 series with the new M package, the 1 series and X3 are also getting it.

New M packages

stressdoc · 07-12-2005, 03:06 PM

Any thoughts on how this might translate into a USA performance package? Maybe with the 1 series exhaust, tuning tweaks, and 325 differential gearing? Too bad alcantara seems to have disappeared...

Llamaslayer · 07-12-2005, 04:36 PM

whats that light thing in the center of the front lip

matze328 · 07-12-2005, 04:37 PM

new M-Package looks boring

SV Concepts III · 07-12-2005, 04:56 PM

Not bad, although I do not like that radar sensor AT ALL!

I'm with you.. that thing looks like a cyclops eye or something. Good thing US cars don't have front PDC so won't have that.

That's not for PDC, it's for Active Cruise Control, this radar keeps the distance to the car in front of you.
