Hi people just wanna say hi and shed sum light on the above article..... I myself work for a BMW Here in the UK and can confirm with you that the car pictured is a 335i that has been photoshoped.
Here are your clues.
The car is pictured with a Chrome window surround..... M3 will have a Black or high gloss shadow line.
The front fenders are not flared
Bonnet buldge not consistent in all pics.
Wheels in motion - not showing proper M Wheels
No M Sport seats in cabin.
All 4 Tail pipes are too large and look disperportioned with Mules etc. plus no clear view of front bumper .
Absence of true front fender vent, the one pictured copied off an m6.
So i say to you all dont take to much intrest in what you see here cause its probably going look very different.

PHOTO'S AREN'T REAL:
I read this over on m5board:
"Yesterday, we posted an article questioning the validity of the 2008 BMW M3 that’s featured on Car’s February 2007 issue. Today, we found scanned pictures of the specific article which, unfortunately, prove that the 2008 M3 we saw was photoshoped.
Even though the images are somewhat blurry and could easily be mistaken for being the “real thing”, the answer lays on the first page and specifically where it quotes: “Images Barry Hayden / Motor Forecast”. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the name, Motor Forecast is a company that specializes in “chops” – for example, they came up with the Chevrolet Camaro Convertible rendering that was shown on Autoweek.com."
