BMW M3 Coupe Undisguised

BMW M3 Coupe Undisguised


A new version of one of the world's best-selling high-performance car is preparing for action - and we have the first pictures that prove it will also be coming as a high-performance four-seater cabrio. We can reveal the all-new BMW M3 Coupé and Cabrio, after our spies caught the cars with thin disguising testing in Munich and on the German Autobahn the other day. The next-generation M3 is the first V8-engined 3-Series, and offers 400-plus bhp - so expect it to race from 0-100 km/h in a fraction over five seconds, and go on to a limited top speed of 250 km/h. Power will be fed to the rear wheels via a six speed manual gearbox or the latest SMG sequential manual, possibly with seven ratios. The new car should maintain the M3's reputation for outstanding handling. The V8 – derived from the M5’s V10 – will be more compact than the current in-line six cylinder model, while a longer wheelbase will help with weight distribution. Externally, the car takes many cues from the M5, with twin-exit exhausts, front wing vents and discreet 'M' badges, while the look of the all-new 3-Series means an aggressive nose and deeply sculpted flanks. Expect to see the M3 in showrooms in spring 2007 with the Cabrio likely to follow six months late

I'm not gonna lie, it's not as bad as the other pics. It has potential. It just takes while getting used to teh new design.

looks like an angry seagull. but a seagull that will fly! it'll drive great but will leave a bitter taste in your mouth after looking at it.

very clear photoshops, and the history of photoshops go no farther than the photoshops themselves... you can bet that BMW will be making the M3 far more enticing than that crap, the company depends on the 3.
