Car magazine gets first shots of the next BMW M3

It's only the first week of 2007 and we've already landed the scoop of the year: the new BMW M3. CAR's spies have obtained design documents leaking the look of BMW's new super-saloon - several months ahead of its launch this summer.

No, no.

No!

NO!!!

This can't be it.

They couldn't have moved the license plate holder.

It's hideous now!

All the spy photos clearly show the license plate cutout on the trunk of the car. And that lower bumper on the pic above doesnt look aggressive at all. THIS ISNT IT !!! No Way.

I am really sick of magazines/websites making CG images of cars and saying they are the real deal.

If it's a computer image thing then say so flat out. If you say its real then it damn well better be.

the link to the CAR article says that they used a series of blueprints to develop the "computer enhanced images"

These are old and have already been confirmed as photoshops...look at the pictures, they're tagged by the professional firm who made the chops.

That looks bad. It does look like a CGI. Move the plate holder up!

It's a CGI based on leaked styling documents of the real car.

So it is pretty accurate. Also, all those M3's we have seen in testing, of course they don't look like these images. that's what camouflage is all about!

"We used the blueprints to produce a series of four stunning computer-enhanced images revealing exactly how the Three range-topper will look."

yawn....this car magazine and every other one has produced computer renderings.... anything to sell their magazine.

Actually, we LIKE BMWs, that's why we're saying they should move the plate holder.A BMW hater would have said it looks fine where it is.

Damn that is a bland rear end!!!
Reminds me of a hot girl with a big gap between her teeth for some reason!!

Its nice, but already confirmed to be computer generated..I think overall, the real thing shouldnt be much different, which isnt bad..

Lets just wait until here are actually some REAL pictures of the car before we all start arguing over this!

I've just test driven the 330 coupe and what i can say is that if the M3 looks similar to the "normal" version it was already good enough but after being treated by the m division it will look just fantastic!! Funny thing, the latest new bimmers look hideous on pictures but they look so much better in real life!!!
