BMW F80 M3 Sedan Spotted with Manual Transmission - Page 2

I love the wide fenders. Although when that comes out, the wide fenders on the 1M won't seem so special (to me) anymore.

I have a strong feeling the front end will be different. Comparing the kidney's to the F30's kidneys and the F30 spyshots before it was unveiled, the kidneys on the F80 seem to have a flatter top and be slightly wider. I do not think I am just visualizing that because there are more slats in the kidneys of the F80 than the F30. I actually think they are wider.

In theory the front end HAS to be different so to accomodate the wider front fenders.

Finally...a camo car that I feel like I can see decently...

The front end looks pissed. I like it.

Stance looks awesome, hopefully the coupe will have a longer windshield.

Almost 2 years of testing, quite a lot of work to be done

I really like the stance. Very aggressive looking and paired with the new nose it'll look menacing especially with the LED angel eyes.

mapezzul · 10-25-2011, 02:37 PM

I wonder why it looks so wide.... We said this once before with the 1M, they transplanted some parts. Could they be doing the same with the M5 rear and shortening the half shafts a bit, hmmmm

Thank you BMW for not killing off the m3 sedan! I am looking forward to my next M replacement.

James T. Kirk · 10-25-2011, 02:44 PM

I still cringe when I see the mention of "M4"

Piotr74656 · 10-25-2011, 03:05 PM

The stance looks fantastic and I think it will flow well with the 3 series aggressive front endl.

Reedomn · 10-25-2011, 03:06 PM

of course its at the Gas Station.......I seem to be there every few days...but it will be my 5th M3...

Agreed. We undertook this same analysis in a previous spy photo post:
