Default 2007 M3?!?!?!

Whoa shit...





Pics according to Autobild, and according to CAR magazine, the coupe version of the 3 series will have it's own old-school kidney-style grille (as oppossed to the saloon's new version), and a 4.4L 425bhp V8.

My my... if the next M3 looks like the pics, then there is still hope for an aesthetic fight between it and the RS4!

The front it perfectly fine, but what the hell is up with the rear end? Those lights are just bland...So far dissapointed

Its gorgeous from the front, but the rear looks hideous, those four exhausts just look out of place and the rear is just too ungainly. If it shed some pounds and had some kind of housing for the exhaust then it would be really beautiful. thanks for the pics btw.

i thought the front end was a little reminiscent of the slk, but if they fix that rear then all will definitely be well.

In terms of styling it's hard to beat the current RS4. THe front of this Bimmer looks OK, but the rear is fugly. And a V8 finally in an M3

Front side of the car is good but rear side of car is ugly. I think new 3 series coupe will not have too many changes on back side like this photoshops.
