Spied! BMW M3 Coupe Totally Naked
Well, I searched and found nothing, so here it goes. I hope you guys like this one.
BTW, I hope I posted this on the correct forum this time!

This is the first set of M3 coupe pictures showing all these details from the curves of the air intakes to the quad exhaust pipes.
The next-generation M3 is the first V8-engined 3-Series, and offers 400+ horsepower - so expect it to race from 0-100 km/h in a fraction over five seconds, and go on to a limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).
Power will be fed to the rear wheels via a six speed manual gearbox or the latest SMG sequential manual, possibly with seven ratios. The new M3 should maintain the M3’s reputation for outstanding handling. The V8 will be more compact than the current in-line six- cylinder model, while a longer wheelbase will help with weight distribution. Externally, the car takes many cues from the M5 with front wing vents and discreet ‘M’ badges, while the look of the all-new 3-Series means an aggressive nose and deeply sculpted flanks.
We hope to see this in dealer showrooms late in the 2007 calendar year.

Can't wait to see this thing in production, considering the new 3-series coupe will have the option of a twin-turbo and awd. I can't imagine what exacts this thing will be released with.

At least it'll be faster and still looks nice.

Rep Power: 0 It's a 3-series... How can you not love it? You've gotta love a company that devotes its heart and soul to their most common car, and make it so incredibly awesome. Like, take Chevrolet and their Z06. Awesome car, but expensive.
I'll flip out and kill people.

Rep Power: 365 can't wait to see some numbers from someone with a supercharger on that bad boy... prior to this, you could have gone to hartge and gotten the m5 v8 (upgraded) conversion for about 20-30K
