As a 2006 model right? Because if it is 2005 model then BMW will shorten their model life by a year.

Not sure if anyone else seen what I saw, but I saw this same car on CAR and DRIVER magazine. According to that magazine, this isnt the new 3 series, but the FUTURE SERIES 4. Havent seen the PDF, does it say Series 3 on the PDF or not? If it doesnt, then this may be the 4 series.

3-Series name for Saloon, 4-series for Coupe and Convertible. Thus the name of the next Motorsport version is called M4 due to its 2-door configuration. Simple enough eh?

They already dropped the 4 Series and M4 designation...there will only be 3 series and M3...no 4s...
