New M3? spotted/spy pics

[KA-T_240]

So I had this big old post all written up and my internet crashed. So now I decided to say screw it and go right to the pics:

These are pics of what appears to be the New M3/M3 Hardtop Convert.

Anyone know if I should try to send these in anywhere?

Nice find, good thing you didn't take the tape off the fenders, a new generation of M3 style fenders has been held off... for now.

[KA-T_240]

No tape over the "vents" on the black or the blue ones. I didn't take pics of them.


I didnt want to touch the cars, they probably have some fancy alarms.

good man. :keke:

What your seeing in the first pic is the M3 hardtop vert. That's why it's still all camo'd up.

[ryguy]

Yeah dude, they have been spotted. At the bottom of a harbor in New Jersey. The ship carrying them to the U.S. capsized lol.

"The Courage tipped today at the port in Jersey City causing major damage to over 300 BMWs not including 70+ BMWs that were total losses.

a majority of the destroyed vehicles were M3s (mostly in dark blue) with a variety of 3ers and 1ers smashed up as well. A small number of the cars destroyed had German Tourist plates on them, those European delivery customers will NOT be getting their cars back.

If you were expecting your M3 or e90/92 in the next month, you're going to be in for a sad surprise.

those cars that were a total loss will be crushed, I asked a BMW rep, he stated that they will not be auctioned as there is a liability for letting those cars on the road. The shipping company's insurance is footing the bill, I do not know how they will handle those cars that are already owned by the European Delivery customers.

Those cars with light damage will be repaired at the Elizabeth Receiving facility and sold through BMW's dealer network as new cars."

Ya, thats what figured. Cause it doesnt look like the m1 convert. I have seen pics of the m3, but none of the hardtop.


Anyone know if its worth sending the pics anywhere?

[tokes¹]

Nice find! I bet that M3 vert is HEAVY

[Daniel.]

send them to autoblog

[murda-c]

Call C&D or someone and ask if they wanna buy some pics the worst they can say is no. Also the sooner you do it the better

[KA-T_240]

I'll try those.

Anyone got ideas on why the black car is so much more covered then the blue one? They appeared the same inside and out.

[Unholy S14]

spy shots ???

car is out

big fan of the E92 M3.

[usdm180sx]

Nice! Unfortunately the vert prolly weighs 4000lbs

If the car was available why would it be all covered up. When the Blue one did not have a thing on it? Also, Cars Laptop Mounts with no laptops, steering wheels and guage clusters covered. Which made my mind think a little bit.

[02BRB20]

its not available yet but its already been unveiled

I saw one on the way to Morongo casino.

It looks dope.

Had tape and shit all over it.

Didn't say m3 on it but the vent on the fender kinda tipped me off.

I don't believe the Hardtop vert has been released. Might be adding an extra cue or two.

[TheWolf]

"Manual mode also features a launch-control program that will allow the M3 coupe, sedan, and convertible to hit 62 mph from a stop in a claimed 4.6, 4.7, and 5.1 seconds, respectively"

"The new transmission is engineered to handle up to 9000 rpm, so the M3 V-8’s 8400-rpm limit won’t present a problem."

"The recipe is mostly the same: a high-revving, tech-heavy 414-hp, 4.0-liter V-8;"

"We’ve weighed an M3 coupe at 3571 pounds, which is heavy enough, but the droptop will pack on an additional 400 or so pounds, likely topping 4000 pounds when equipped with the M DCT"

A 4000lb m3?? 5 sec 0-60 times????? has bmw gone mad?

I thought this car was supposed to be fast? with that HP and weight it'd be luck to make a high 12 sec quarter

[olah.inc]

who cares with an m3 that it makes 12 sec times...

still pretty quick in straight an curves, and loost great

amok car!
