The BMW ConceptX. Don't touch the angry BMW demi-SUV!

Damian, ecstatic to be here at BMW central in Detroit. He is to blame for many of these photos.

Come drink the BMW Kool-ade...

The BMW 135 convertible, just being launched.

The BMW 135 convertible. BMW hyp-mo-tizes the crowd.

The BMW 135 convertible.

The BMW 135 convertible.

"If I can only get a leg up..."

The BMW 135 convertible. Again.

The BMW 135 coupe. Not that there's a sedan. But it's not the convertible.

Another shot of the BMW 135 coupe.

The BMw 135 was very, very busy at the show!

The BMW polisher-guy details the 135 to clean off grimy fingerprints. These guys never stopped fighting their battle against smudges!

Facinating six-piston BMW brakes.

The twin-turbo inline-6: 300 bhp, 300 lb-ft of torque.

A BMW 335. Just like the 135, but a few inches taller and longer.

Decisions, decisions: a brand-new 414bhp BMW M3 Coupe, and Sedan. I'll take mine in blue...

The BMW M3 Sedan. For those who wish to terrify their friends three at a time, but don't want to hear the bitching about ingress and egress.

The BMW M3 coupe, with Damian in line.

Damian has entered the M3 coupe, but who is with him? (see next)

Damian and "Madame X", a Ferrari-shirt wearing mystery woman, get acquainted.

The door shuts to keep the spectators out, but...

Doh! They've spotted the paparazzi. The recriminations fly.

Damian activates the "angel eyes", i.e. parking lights in BMW-lingo.

See? He IS in there.

Side shot of the power-bulge hood on the M3.

Damian is drawn the the brakes...

...and drawn...

and drawn. Geez, enough already!

Why did the chicken cross the road? It didn't, it got sucked in by a passing M3.
