MMD: I hear you. I, too, have an 04 M3 I was waiting to hold on to for the new '08 M3, but after seeing these pics, (and those from Geneva show, I am not that impressed. It reminds me of when Lexus introduced the new GS430 in 2004. I had the GS 400 and was going to trade-in and the 430, the ARGH!! saw the pics and said no-way. Got the M3 instead. Now, it's playing out all over again. It looks like I'll be doing the 997 Carerra S this time.
