The previous M versions of the 3 and 5 series (e46 and e39) had more or less the same look to the front bumper and spoiler. That doesn't seem to be the case this time around.

Here are the latest pictures taken of the upcoming e90 M3 without the bra covering the bumper.

Here is a photoshop dated back to December '05 (perhaps even earlier!) that is said to be a rendition of the e90 M3 created from 'insider' information:

Now compare it to the spy photo I posted above:
Attachment 22125

Whoever the insider was leaked accurate information to the one that created the photoshop.

Now, here is a photoshop of the rear from the same source:
Attachment 22123

Notice that the rear tail lights are accurate as well! Based on this, there is a very high probability that the rear spoiler and quad tail-pipes will look just like what we see in the photoshop.

Finally, take a look at a photoshop of the M3 interior...again from the same source:

I understand that we truly won't know until we hear it announced officially from BMW themselves and it's very easy for us to disregard a lot of this information (M mirrors weren't incorporated and rear license plate seems to be located too low on the bumper). However, it's difficult to deny whoever the 'insider' was since he/she has hit the mark on several locations as I've depicted with the bubbles above.

Hah SMG gearbox with a clutch pedal. What's that all about?!
Anyway...i'm willing to wait for the real thing cuz sometimes even when the real pics come out they still don't do justice when you see the car up front.

Yes I noticed the clutch/SMG knob combo too, but you missed the point. :nono:
By comparing the photoshops of the front end to the spy photos of the test mule, it seems the one who created the pshop had accurate info from the mystery 'insider'. Therefore, it's probable that we are looking at what the rear and interior of the car will be. I'm quite aware that this is only speculation.

And for your information...
In addition to having gear selector paddles on the steering wheel, Formula One cars use to have a clutch pedal just a few years ago; primarily for launching the car from standstill. Now, they use a lever located behind the steering wheel.
