| Yesterday we received new pictures of what is purportedly a prototype of the 2007/2008 M3 coupe. While we cannot definitively guarantee the authenticity of the spyshots, we believe it is real. The photos are believed to be of the new BMW M3, as evidenced by the distinctive quad-tailpipes — a feature only seen on BMW's "M" vehicles. Moreover, the car appears to have widened wheel arches. While it's difficult to determine from just one photo, this certainly appears to be the case. Lastly, there appears to be some type of camouflage on the front quarter-panel — the exact location where BMW "M" cars usually have side gills. Given all these characteristics, we suspect this may be actual 2008 E92 M3 prototypes, as opposed to a test "mule." If the vehicle was a mule, it would not have production-style wheel arches, nor would it have side gills. If this is indeed the new M3, then it goes against recent reports by Germany's Autobild magazine that indicated the V8 M3 would get a unique body style. It's also unusual to see a prototype with so little disguise in testing at this time. While the release of the 2007 3-Series coupe is imminent, the M3 was not expected until some time next year. Did you think BMW would release a car without testing it first?BMW E92 M3 Spy shot - Seen through rear view mirror of car | BMW E92 M3 Spy shot - Rear Quad Exhausts - Leaving Parking lotBMW M3 Spy shot - Rear/Side - Driving in 120 degree heat. BMW tried to keep what they are doing a secret, but they failed to hide this car. Pretty soon we will have engine pictures etc. |
