The new M3 is a 4 door???
but what they say is to: NOTICE THE FRONT HOOD over the engine, it is bigger and higher then series 3 so V8 engine would fit in.
And check out the 4 tail pipes, exhaust....
and the FRONT BRAKES !!!!!!
What do you think? They say it is supposed to be M3 but I would rather say it will be something like 335D ???

It doesnt look like the finished M3 tbh. Thers no grill on the side at the front for starters.
Could be they are just using the current 3 as a testbed to check things like brakes etc. who knows.....

The German Car Fans pic is just a photoshop that has been doing the rounds for months now. I very much doubt that we will see pics of the "final spec" car with full badging etc until towards the end of 2006 as the model isn't due for launch until 2007. Until then there will continue to be a lot of speculative rumours and more photoshops.

My dealer reckons the cz photos are the closest yet mechanically but not to reckon on the bodywork being like that...(except mayby the hood!)
brakes are almost definately M3

Somehow or where I was under the impression that there is to be a sedan, coupe and cabrio in the M3 stable. Cannot remember my source of disinformation.

A small M5! Great idea. The M5 always appealed as it's a four door, but the new one is too extreme for everyday driving (15MPG).
A four door V8 M3 sounds perfect.
