wow, i love the AM @ ~1:45...

bavarianboar · 07-14-2010, 03:36 PM

Can't wait to see that camouflage come off. When is the international launch, not the anticipated sale? End of 2011?

ryanful · 07-14-2010, 04:44 PM

No sound of Turbo whine!

Let's hope the rumors of the demise of the naturally aspirated 6 cyl are grossly exaggerated

kgb1637 · 07-14-2010, 04:49 PM

Ooooooo nice Aston in camo as well, that car is gonna be fun!

kinan_sleiman2006 · 07-14-2010, 06:18 PM

waooooooo.can not wait

Jblack4083 · 07-14-2010, 07:06 PM

At one point that sounded like a Diesel engine.

On top of that I hope the front bumper doesnt have those stupid circular vents like the camo makes it look like.

SamS · 07-14-2010, 10:05 PM

Great video, I didn't want it to end!

noro · 07-14-2010, 10:26 PM

lesha · 07-15-2010, 04:43 PM

can't wait to see the coupe

Evolution_GT · 07-15-2010, 05:46 PM

Wouldn't that be funny if the aston and the 3 crashed.... exposing camo!!

wahoo · 07-15-2010, 06:30 PM

Looks like the ugly A4 with extended wheel base. Right now I'm liking the proportions. I'll wait to render final judgement but it looks like it is growing to close to e39 5 series size.

Tallest · 07-16-2010, 09:07 AM

they should start testing cars on real roads, not on the ring, otherwise we still have to replace tyres and suspension after we buy it just to make the damn thing ride better.

I take it you have never been to the Nordschleife which is very bumpy in many sections of the circuit and this is why you have to drive a race with a generally much softer setup than say some place like Hockenheimring or the like.

BMWs have the ride quality BECAUSE they have been developed on not only every conceivable climate, but the Nordschleife as well.

Yes it would!

I hope this thing distinguishes itself visually from the 5er more than the 5er distinguishes itself from the 7er.

mcacciola · 07-16-2010, 03:59 PM

Any rumors about the engines?
I guess N55 will be one of them, but anything more powerful that the current 335i???

AltecBX · 07-20-2010, 09:35 PM

Like the new directional lights. Its embedded in the brake lights.

sq86 · 07-21-2010, 11:23 PM

Interesting taillights and reflector/light on the side mirrors. I can't wait to see it without the camo!

Reminds me of is300 from behind.. I'm sure it will look nothing like it with all the camo off.
