I think they are aiming their fun and games at another member that started thread about unleashed beast or something. It was merged to this thread ...I think is what happened.

very serious. this thing would rape any N/A M3 out there. plus with that engine, simple bolt-ons would make it destroy any E9X out there. and as far as that interior is concerned, the recaro pole positions are a very welcome change to the E9X's fatass-specialty bench seats and more than make up for the "shine" (which really doesn't seem like all that much).

The problem I see with this car is I don't think it'll have a very big market. As a DD, the M3/M5 is about as good as you can get. If you have the funds for this car, you're probably able to afford a more civilized DD of your choice in addition to *investing in* a track-built 997.

Track-oriented merc seems a bit of a contradiction, no?

umm you do realize mercedes has ALOTTT more motorsports wins than BMW right? and they have produced the CLKGTR/CLK DTM/CLK BS/ SLR/ SLS/ SL BS..... trust they know how to produce a car that handles well and have resources that BMW can only dream of.

I'm sure BMW also has access to almost all the same resources but that doesn't seem to be their focus right now. They're all about going green at the moment so everyone else is passing them by with these amazing offerings. This is the future for BMW and it's going to be a loonnggg ride. Might as well just try to make the best of it. At least they're thinking of making a 'groundbreaking' M3, right?

If the CRT and GTS are any indication, I'm not holding my breath.

Spy photos from early this year suggest it!

[Davin]

^^^^ If the sedan version comes out, I wouldn't think twice about getting it!

[06E90Rostik]

LOL at BMW trying to expand their line up (X2, X4, etc.), also "M"enizing them later. While MB is perfecting the existing models

The BS has been revealed...

Mercedes’ most powerful C-Class — the 509bhp C63 AMG Coupé Black Series — goes on sale next spring with an estimated price tag of around £100,000.
Like all three previous Black Series Mercedes (see panel, right), the C63 sticks with a tried and tested formula of sledgehammer power, track-focused hard-core chassis and aggressive race-derived styling.
See pics of the Mercedes C63 AMG Coupé Black Series
Power comes from AMG’s 6.3-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine, which has forged pistons, conrods and crankshaft, a new engine control unit and a 50 per cent bigger oil cooler.
The prodigious output is channelled through a seven-speed AMG Speedshift transmission, which uses a wet, dual-clutch in place of the usual fluid coupling.
The transmission has four control settings and can snap through the gears in 100 milliseconds in the sportiest Sport Plus and Manual modes.
To boost the new Mercedes’ traction and improve its handling the rear axle features a limited slip differential that is allied to three stages of ESP stability control, one of which allows the system to be completely switched off.
Under the skin is a revised chassis with wider tracks — up 40mm at the front and 75mm at the rear — stiffer anti-roll bars and suspension with “numerous setting options”.
Upgraded brakes include bigger 390mm front discs, stopped by six-piston calipers, and 360mm discs at the rear, with four-piston calipers.
A two-seat cabin is standard, with an optional rear bench with individual seats, like the ‘cooking’ C63 AMG Coupé.
Race-style bucket seats and red-trimmed seatbelts with contrasting stitching add a sporty edge to the interior.
Firsts for the Black Series are an optional Track Package and the AMG Aerodynamic Package. Included in the Track Package is super-sticky Dunlop rubber and a differential cooler sited in the rear bumper apron.
The Aerodynamic Package features carbonfibre aerodynamic add-ons for the front bumper and a fixed, carbon rear spoiler.

It's an option and most likely the one's opting for the package will be the ones driving it on the track. Overall, I think the car looks better in white or black. With the additional aero package the car will strictly be a two seater.

Right so that does make sense. I agree the white makes it look more aggressive to me, probably because of the way it contrasts with the black and cf accents. I still like red, especially the way this Mars Red CLK Black wears it:
