Thanks for sharing, it's nice to see some explanation behind choices rather than the normal "he said, she said".

Just a photoshop and you can thank the new european pedestrain safety laws for the hood line being where it is.

Nice find!

I don't care what motor they stuff under the hood as long as the car is lighter, faster, more efficient and comes in 3-pedal version!

Not a fan of the rendering, although I really don't think the coupe is just going to be a shorter version of the sedan which is what that rendering is depicting. I'm "hoping" the coupe will have a more aggressive profile.

Agreed - think BMW should have kept the roundel in the traditional location. Makes the car look like it's looking downward.

Not a big fan, starting to look more average of a car. I just hope they work on getting rid of weight. The M3 has gained more than 1,000 lbs over it's life-cycle. I have an e46 M3 and it's way too heavy for my liking. I haven't driven the newer one, but I have a luxury sedan that is 400lbs lighter.

I'm going to hold final judgement till I see one in person. But I do like the dakar yellow in the "preview"

the current m3 is so beautifully proportioned that it is pretty difficult to match on asthetics, and they have those pesky european regs to deal with which have made most cars a lot less to look at imo...same here with the 'slab' hood and flat front..otherwise it sounds good. i own an e92 m3 and really like it, and keep my cars for a pretty long time, but maybe in a few years......i take no issue with the use of turbo motors to get better efficiency--that is the world we live in.

A twin turbo V6? How come they didn't want to use the TT V8?
