BMW Press Launch in Photos

MotoringFile Sections: //M3\\, E81/82/E87 1 Series, MINI Feb 16th, 2008

After a week of driving the new M3, 1 Series and MINI Clubman I’m finally back ready to start sharing my opinions on the cars. Look for the 1 Series review this Monday (if not just a little earlier) and the M3 review Tuesday. In the meantime, here’s the full collection of photos from the event.

Whoa, wait a minute…Tell me that first picture is a press photo–they really didn’t have an M3 race car there did they?

They did indeed.

That is awesome–never would have expected that. So did they take it out on the track? Or better yet, did they let you guys run it on the track? If so, you’re going to have some serious writing ahead of you the next few days…

Unfortunately they didn’t. It wasn’t ready apparently.

About BimmerFile

BimmerFile is dedicated to bringing you the most interesting news, links and reviews related to the BMW brand and it's vehicles.

We believe in the old school BMW ownership experience. We believe in garage nights with a six pack and some friends. We believe in 2002s, in E30 M3s and E34 540s with the 6 speed. We believe in progress in both design and engineering but we haven't lost sight of what made the brand and its products great all those years ago. And yes, we believe in the manual transmission.

We long for the days of the wave and for the days of roll-up windows. Yet we love the gadgets on the inside and the xenons on the outside.

In short, we can't get enough of BMWs. This is BimmerFile.
