A TopSpeed reader sends us a few spy shots of the 2008 M3 Convertible and also of the 6-Series facelift.

The M3 Convertible will be powered by the same 420 hp, V8 engine used in the Coupe version unveiled earlier this year. For the US market it is expected to be priced around $55000.

The 6-Series facelift will probably be unveiled this year at Frankfurt Motor Show. It will be powered by a V8 engine with output between 258 and 367 hp for the M6.

I hope BMW made the necessary improvements to the cab's shell for added rigidity that goes out the window w/ these types of cars. Other than that small reservation this is a car I'm really looking forward to. Imagine being able to hear the V8 burble w/ the top down... no need to bump the radio, even the ladies will love listening to the baritone of the exhaust system... flying panties anyone???

Barely disguised

A new version of one of the world's best-selling high-performance car is preparing for action - and we have the first pictures that prove it will also be coming as a high-performance four-seater cabrio. We can reveal the all-new BMW M3 CC, after our spies caught the car with thin disguising testing at the German Nürburgring today.

The next-generation M3 is the first V8-engined 3-Series, and offers 400-plus bhp - 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. 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 car should maintain the M3's reputation for outstanding handling. The V8 – derived from the M5’s V10 – 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 twin-exit exhausts, front wing vents and discreet 'M' badges, while the look of the all-new 3-Series means an aggressive nose and deeply sculpted flanks. Expect to see the M3 Cabrio in showrooms in autumn 2007.
