hey F50,
i really doubt its a Beemer.. if it is, it has to be the most well disguised prototype.. coz the line and body shape are like none of the previous versions.. the size is too big for a 3 series.. looks like a cross between the Z4 and the 5 series.. anyone else can take off the covers??

I opened the 1st pic and wondered whether it really is a BMW. Looks more like an MG to me from the front. But the wing mirrors say otherwise. have no idea whatsoever on this machine.

A 4 series is pretty unheard of by me and i think it will be a stupid decision even if they do launch a 4 series...Too many variants can often be a drawback.

Bonnet profile is surely BMW. So is the greenhouse and that rise in the C pillar. As Ajmat said, it is probably the upcoming 3 series Coupe, though cunninly disguised to look like an MG from head on as Deep's said. However, those wing mirrors don't seem typical BMW?!?

It is the latest BMW M3 on test. It's good a V8 engine and produces something like 400 bhp. Not much else known about it...it probably's got a 4.5-5 litre engine and got amazing torque as well. Covered because it's till under test.

If this is the M3 then .... here it is...

I don't think its the new M3 comparing the two pics the M3 has twin dual exhausts while the one on test has just dual exhausts only...

It also has 4 doors!! I donno where i read it or someone told me but the new M3 was suppose to be out as a coupe and sedan. Im not sure about this please correct me if im wrong.

The M3 is indeed going to come out as a coupe and a sedan, but the pictures you've put up just show a 3-series coupe/cabriolet. It will probably be the succesor to the 330Ci. This is deciphered from the fact that its a 2-door, has two exhausts, and is DEFINITELY BMW by its body style, front lower bumper and its alloys.
