Spyshots: The next BMW M3?

The new Car and Driver magazine just released on newstands this weekend show a clear un-camoed pic of the new coupe.

The 335i Turbo that is....not the M3.

It looks amazing. 20 times better than any of us thought it would be. Lots bigger.....like a CLK, not a 3-series sedan.

The last minute changes were to the grille and tailights. No chrome lipstick on that grille. Worse part of the 3-series sedan is that chrome strip on the grille. The coupe dropped it. Instead opting for the beautiful grilles on BMWs of past.

These taillights should be on the sedan. Much more unique.

Its coming at the end of the summer.

NateFate is right this is the next 335ci. What a nice looking ride. I can't wait to hear the twin turbos spool up. Trust me this will be one hell of a machine.

I sure hope so too!!!

I think the conception looked amazing though !!

This car will soon be BMWs most beautiful model.

It has the trademark dual exhausts, and quite notacable flared arches.

Why would a turbo variant warrant such drastic sheetmetal changes? Wouldn't it then tread on the M3's toes in terms of visual appeal?

I think that the M3 as much as I don't like BMW, that looks like its gonna be CRAZY, no much for the RS4 though.

I'm guessing that is the M3, the 335 isn't going to have the quad pipes like that, I think it'll be a dual exhaust from everything I've seen/heard on the 335i. Whatever that is it looks pretty good, I can't wait to see one finished and road ready!

This is the M3! Did any of you see the signature wide open air dams in the front and two dual exhausts in the back?

auto spies has always been Bmer, mbz biased. Once and for all, who cares what the next bmer or mbz MAY look like? Who cares what the next M5 killer MAY look like. Get back to me when you have a full story without dirt covered cars that one can't even tell what they may eventually look like.

I like it, by no means would i buy the lexus is or infiniti over this car, and bmw 3 series have never been radically styled, always pretty conservative, but i think a lexus is coupe will be nice but over all wont be able to match the bmw on handling dynamics, overall class or prestige, and the g35 coupe is very far from either these because of its horribly low rent interior and 350 z ride. but overall very classy execution

Good but the rims look aftermarket BBS's
