Good find. I love the brawny-ness of the backend with the extra thick bumper.

Nice pics.........

You know with all the carjackings that happen I'm surprised nobody's ever stolen a BMW prototype or anybody else's test model for that matter.....

Damn... can't wait to trade my old E46 ///M3 in...

wow!

that makes me a e90/M3 believer !
too bad I cant afford one, I guest I'll just have to warm up with an older e46/M3 while the picking is good!

I'm curious to see what BMW does with the side vents. They look fine on the e46 M3, but the e90 has such a sculpted body that the e46 vents would look too blocky and maybe even out-of-place on the new M3.

The E90 looks more like a shark. Put the old vents on that shark and it would funny. Maybe shark-like gill slits would look better or perhaps no vents at all.

Yea the old M3's side vents would look real bad on this new one. I wouldnt be surprised to see BMW put something like the M6's treatment on the E92 M3
