Wow that looks like an E46 M3 and a current 3 series morphed together.


Who would have guessed what the next M3 would have looked like?

I'm looking at this on my cell phone, so the pictures are small and I may have missed them, but where are the side gills?

Looks nice! I like how the tail-lights resemble the 7 series

I'm sure it will be a beast for what it is.

I wonder what the sticker price will be and actual ETA...

This is one car I just have to see completed to make a decision. So far, I haven't been a fan. These pics (or BMW rather) still don't reveal enough of the car. Just have to wait and see.

Looks like the E46 will remain my favorite M3. Nothing beats a fully loaded 2005 Alpine White on Imola Red slammed on HRE 545Rs with Eisenmann exhaust
