We know that the next BMW M3 sedan is coming and we have a general idea of what
it will look like thanks to an abundance of spy shots over the past year, but if
you are still having a hard time visualizing the sportiest model in the F30
3-Series range, photoshop artist Wildspeed has put together these renderings.
The CGIs (Computer Generated Imagery) propose a wider body with bloated front
and rear wheel arches housing larger wheels in beefier tires, a vented hood,
double-slat grilles, side skirts and a typical M-style front bumper with
enlarged air inlets.
What do you don't see here is the rear end of the car that will sport a
redesigned bumper with a diffuser flanked by twin tailpipes on either side and
possibly a boot lid spoiler.
The F30 M3 sedan (along with the coupe model) will mark a return to a
straight-six engine, but this time it will be turbocharged with an output of
around 450-horses, up from the current unforced-induction V8's 414hp (420PS).
A six-speed manual gearbox or an optional seven-speed dual clutch
transmission will power the rear wheels.
We expect that the new M3 will be lighter than the current generation,
possibly losing as much as 100kg (220 pounds) with significant benefits in
handling, performance as well as fuel economy and greenhouse emissions.
