    2008 M3 Test Car Spotted

    I saw this on my way home from work. Its a new M3 thats not out yet. But it blended in with traffic nicely. It had a carbon hood and some side panels that were covered with black tape. I only realized it was a test car because I knew the car hasnt been released yet. I only got one shot cuz I was in traffic. This is yet another reason living in LA is good. You see test cars all the time

    i think the rear taillights look horrible......they look unfinished because they cut and just stop at the trunk..... look like millenia taillights,undone besides that ...looks ok

    it looked pretty badass. I see what you mean Censee...maybe those wont be the production tails. Although I am pretty sure they will be. Over all though, the car looks sick
