People are so quick to call things "official"

THOSE ARE NOT OFFICIAL :)

Those are computer generated pics - the same ones CAR magazine used in their latest issue - http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44066

The real thing wont' have that stupid license plate in the back bumper like that.

Here's a question for you guys. The article mentions that it will have a 90 degree cylinder banks with offset crank pins. Why is that? A 90 degree block for a V8 is perfect. You can have either a 90 degree crank or 180 degree crank with that setup.

Who wrote the article? They say that its supposed to do 0-60 in about 5.0 seconds, which is supposidly 0.2 seconds faster than its predecessor.

I though 4.8 seconds was what BMW always claimed the manual e46 M3's 0-60 to be.

I doubt they would let out a new M3 with a slower 0-60!

Unless it will look completely different from the posted pictures, which I don't think it will, the production car will look hideous. Doesn't look agressive at all. It looks like the design took more of a Lexus approach to a sports car. Just a weird looking body kit that's going to be marketed as "agressive", with minimal changes to make the car actually look better, rather than just different, than a non-M. Congrats Bangle, you have officially fucked up the best car in BMW's lineup.

Alright I mean what is everyone expecting. We've all known that BMW styling is in an uncontrollable downward spiral ever since the the E65. I mean honestly as far as styling is concerned Bangle's BMW's are garbage. Somebody needs to shoot that guy:devillook . Any volunteers?:evil2

idk. Maybe I'm an old man at heart, but I think the e36 and e30 M3's are awesome looking...

e46 is slightly downhill.

now this?

And I'm YOUNG !
