Yesterday we received a new spy shot of what is purportedly a prototype of the 2007/2007 BMW M3 coupe. While we cannot definitively guarantee the authenticity of the photo, we believe it is real. The image is believed to be of the new M3, as evidenced by the distinctive quad-tailpipes — a feature only seen on BMW’s “M” vehicles.

Not much, but you can see the profile, roofline and most of the side pretty clearly, and i think it looks awesome. If they can just avoid messing up the head- and tail lights (fingers crossed images/smilies/unsure.gif

) it's going to look fantastic. images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Edit: lights on the coupe:

Front lights are a little boring but the rear lights look really good and stylish. kind of a new interpretation of the E46 lights.

If they make the front headlamps on the M3 distinctly different and exciting/stylish, I think it will be a top car! I like the rear of the coupe as it looks waay more interesting than the drab sedan.

I still don't like BMW interiors though...very cheap and clinical in terms of its layout, but maybe I'll come round to likeing it in time...

Profile looks good, as do the flared arches. I want to see what they've done with the front & rear, given how average the 3-sedan is.

z4 interior is very nice looks like a fighter jet. however the 1,3,5,6 and 7 series interior is rather strange/ugly. mercedez are much better at interiors 8)

In terms of interior there is not 1, but 4 rings to rule them all: Audi (i can let them have that, but nothing else over a BMW)

I love it... If you live in Munich ( lots of friends of mine do...) and you're driving around a lot, you can see all the BMW prototypes...

Thats the problem of the current 3 series... Everybody buys a 320d with everything standard... Off course it looks rubbish that way! If the better looking wheels and the lowered sport suspension would be for free everybody would have it, and that's a nono as well...
