    Shaved E92 M3

    My 500th is coming closer, so I thought I'd mark it with something special.

    Attached is a kind of 'chop' of the E92 M3 Test-mule. Not really a chop, but more an attempt to remove the cloaking-tape to reveal what I think the new M3 might look like.

    Thanks to m3post.com for the original.

    I dare you to do a Winding Road and post it to a magazine go on! It looks real to me... just the side indicator that's a bit odd.

    Awesome work.

    Awesome... just the gills need some rework.

    Since BMW is covering the hood, perhaps there's some vent in it? Since 335 is going the Turbo way.... don't you think the E92 M3 might be going Turbo as well? A vent or scoop might be in place. (Something like the M3 GTR? or Skyline V-Spec II. )

    The new M3 will have a V8 version of the M5's 5-litre V10 engine.

    It looks great, except the hood bulge is a bit shady looking. A nice job overall.

    Wouldn't that give it along the lines of 400 horsepower or so, probably a little more with some more performance oriented programming?

    Very nice, clean chop. Very clear indication of the direction of the styling.

    Yes. If it keeps the same specific out put as the M5, 405bhp.

    Awesome job on "uncovering" the M3 but even if it looks like that, even if it's alright, the current M3 still looks better...
