I love the E36 M3 and the clear corners are nice... but I must vote "no" on the flag graphic.

Factory-equipped or no, IMO that graphic detracts from an otherwise beautiful design.

I actually dislike the clear corners. The graphic looks hot...like it's supposed to be there.

Very nice IMO.

Maybe one day I'll get an M3. Do you know anything about the next gen M3 by any chance?

the E92 M3 Coupe will use a V8 from the previous M5. I don't know too much about the transmission though, but probably a 7 speed SMG II in Europe and a 6 speed manual for the US market (like the current E60 M5).

Yeah they pretty much had no choice but to go a V8 now. I knew it was going to be a V8, but I didn't know it was the old M5 V8.

it will be SMG II for sure, just like the new E60 M5 we have here. THey wont be offering a choice of 6spd or SMG like they did with the E46 previously.

Oh I thought they were going to offer a 6 speed version of the E60 M5 in the US in a year or two because there was a strong market for a manual version here in the US? I read that somewhere, could be wrong though.
