RENDERED SPECULATION: Will BMW's Next-Gen M3 Make Its FIRST Appearance At The 2013 Geneva Motor Show?

As the 2013 Geneva Motor Show gets closer by the day, we're eagerly anticipating what we believe may be THE car event of the year. With SO many amazing debuts hitting the stands in Geneva, we're pretty stoked.

While we haven't heard any confirmation or been teased, some folks are whispering that the all-new BMW M3/M4 will be on hand for the occasion. Of course, that alone would make the Geneva show one to remember for sometime as the M3 has a bit of a legacy to maintain.

That said, one of our favorite automotive artists out there — Radovan Varicak, a friend of AutoSpies — recently rendered what we believe is a pretty accurate M3 that could make its FIRST appearance in Geneva.

These renders have made their way into the February 2013 issue of CAR Magazine. We highly recommend that you get yourself to the closest newsstand and pick up a copy for yourself.

Good grace please "Do Not" tell me that the new BMW M3 or M4 front will look like this??? The front remind me of a British Bulldog. Man the front is UGLY......... and I mean Circus freak ugly. Since the article say it's only a rendering so I will have my fingers cross.

From what I've seen in terms of spy shots, I would say it is a 75% accurate rendering.

Do not fret Lexus it will grow on you. I think BMW has gotten the message that its competition is adding excitment to their styling and being too staid/Germanic will not cut it anymore. It will likely take another generation of cars before BMW strikes the right balance between being high end and agressively styled at the same time. Currently they are taking short cuts by changing the front valance and hood mostly to save costs. Hopefully in the future they will start with a clean slate when designing the M models. Having said that I've put down a $500 deposit on the M2 that's coming in a couple of years as it should be the lightest, best handling M and closest to the original M3 in driving dynamics.

Unfortunately none of these designs since the craziness started about 12 years ago with the 7 series have grown on me a bit. The Bangle butt, the dame edna lights, the A-pillar crease into the front fender---the paint is dulling on these examples on the road but the fail is not. Worse, other manufacturers have even copied the fail and extended it.
