Just got back from Kuni BMW this afternoon. They comfirmed that there will not be any changes for the M3 until September 2004. Starting september, the M3 will inherit all of the new 3 series changes.

I was hoping for a refresh sooner, but it doesn't seem like it will happen in North America until the 2004 production run.

This refreshing shit is stupid. Leave the m3 alone, it is perfect the way it is. Now my resale value will go down because it will look like one of the "old" e46 m3's. They don't need to go and change the styling every 2 years.

I'm glad they are delaying it, maybe they realised they should milk a great design a little longer. I just know that they will ruin it.

Will the m6 or m5 be out by 2004? I would just like to trade the m4 in for either one of those at that point.

I don't believe either of those cars will be out in time. Probably not until 2005-6 :dunno

What about the rear LEDs? I thought they were going to be on all '04 model M3s?

No other changes, other than the hideously long trunk handle, but no facelift.

Several new M3's from eurpoe have shown up in the last few days on the net and all had LED's!

3?7 production date onward... majority of changes will be Sept.
