The pictures look too good to be chop. So I guess that's the real deal, eh?

The pictures are real but the car is fake I think. If its real BMW have messed it up big time.

Info from SCOTT

There is a reason to why the bootlid looks like that . And it's all to do with the core criteria of BMW M - in otherwords lightweight. This also helps the upcoming M3 Cabrio which will receive it's press launch in November 2007.

Although you are looking at allbeit digital enhanced pictures The rear end does look a lot better in real life in which BMW are moving to a more Kinetic approach to M-Division in design the kinetic approach therefore brings the M3 to it's M6 and Z4M Coupe brothers and it's upcoming baby brother M2 in 2009.
The positioning of the M3 now becomes much clearer that the M2 will become a reality because there is now an opening for a smaller model.

function before design ala Enzo I assume.

It's not the real thing , look at the standard E92 mirror caps for evidence and besides we only start shooting the non-official production show vehicle this Thursday. Another element in these digital images is the pride of Germany we do not use other countries registration identities as seen here as UK to launch our cars we are very proud of having a car registered in Munich. Which is our homeland. whilst other countries utilize their own registration identity for their marketing purpose.

I glad these aren't the real pictures, I'm sure it can look much better than this!

BTW, are we to see an M3 concept, or the real thing at Geneva 2007??

The first thought, when I saw the rear was: what the hell!?

But after looking at it several times, I like it.

And I think this might be official. The pics ar too good!

Any power figures?

It's chop for sure guys,
1- As SCOTT27 said, the mirror caps are the ones from the standard E92.
2- The contour of the windows are in chrome. All standard M cars have the
window sides in black (unless it's ordered otherwise).
3- The M3 concept has yet to be presented, so I doubt any magazine have
gotten their hands on it.
4- Notice carefully that in none of the images do we see what the wheels look
like. Thats simply because very few people have an exact idea of the
final wheel design (that was the only clever thing about these pics
actually)
5- Another thing is that the plates on the over photo and those on the inside
don't match! (MVZ 4329 on the cover and YL 06 NCY on the other cars.
6- If you look closely at the pics, the car constantly switches from RHD to LHD!!

This is really bad for Car magazine, makes me think: Tabloid car trash, Good effort nonetheless.

Anyway, if it ends up looking like this, it will be the first BMW in 7 years that I REALLY like!
