BMW F32 M3 Renderings and Impressions.

[nismo-gtr]

looks nice.

[Tiago@VRSF]

Everyone said the same thing when they saw the e92 spy pics and renderings saying how it looks like a futuristic shit box now all you **** are leg humping/driving e92's. I think it looks great but it's probably more accurate to call that the M1 rendering considering the short wheel base and the rear coming down to a hatch.

600 bhp for the M6? Jesus, that's getting to be really high up there. Hopefully with 600 bhp, the car will break into the lower 11 second barrier. 0 - 60 has to be under 3.8 unless the car weighs a tank.

It's about time they bring the Corrado back to the US...oh wait!

[bavarian19]

All speculation at this point.

[BenTrovato]

I think it looks good so far! Issue I see with the front end is that this style will not look good in all colours, they will definitely revise the front headlights.

WOW! totally see the resemblance.

also, the bumper reminds me of the c63. it def looks more aggressive, but it looks less unique.

[gill_]

kind of looks like they are going back to the e46 m3 aggressiveness

[joel06]

cars seem to be moving towards sharp aggressive lines and features in the 2010's.

this could do with a bit more wheel arch flare IMO

[The HACK]

If it looks anything like the bottom right two pictures, count me in for one!

I think the e92M is just one drop dead sexy car, but I'm giving that model a pass and going right to the F series with it's turbolicous torque! Under torque'd gas guzzling V8 M will be a relic post haste.

Torque deficiency = myth. Plenty of threads on M3Post to read about this in great detail. In short, the M3 makes more torque at the wheels than a 335i from 2000 RPM onward.

The V8 M3 will more than likely become coveted in the coming years, especially if HPFP issues continue to plague BMWs turbo I6s. The M3 will be the last naturally aspirated M car and BMW for a long time. The next M3 will be great too, but if they were to give an option for an S65 with HPI and 450+ hp, the take rate for the turbo would probably drop to 50% or maybe lower IMHO. Similarly if Ferrari offers a turbo 6 for some car, watch as the take rate for that approaches near zero. Why? Because, there's nothing like a high revving V8 and its linear power delivery. It's too bad there will be no more affordable high revving production cars soon. But at least there will still be some great V8s available in this segment, including Mercedes 5.5L turbo, and Audis upcoming 4L turbo. BMW, unfortunately, won't build us an S63 powered M car @ less than 100k.

Yeah, sick body kit haha

[GregTheStig]

I kind of like it, but now it looks a bit too... can't really explain it, but looks almost like a hatch back. Just not long and sleek like the E92. Only time will tell. Are there even spy shots of the new F32 yet?

[335iMIAMI]

Horrendous , It will change let's hope drastically.

Myth perhaps, when comparing to a stock 335, but what enthusiast drives a stock 335? A tuned 335i out torques an M3 all day. Cant wait to see what an M division boosted M3 is capable of. Keep your linear accelerating, gas guzzling, super expensive to get extra horsepower V8 for all I care.

You sound real mad. You expect to talk smack about M3 on the forums and not get called on it, yeah? Push back makes ya mad, eh? You love your 335i more than any other car - why can't everyone else just understand and hate the M3 too?

Yeah, we see that a lot over on M3 post. Hey, there's lots of modded 335i out there. Great cars. But go to M3post to see dozens (not exaggerating - call me out if I am) of past threads from those with modded 335i who traded for an M3 and never look back.

"what enthusiast drives a stock 335?" - ones who want a warranty.

Now give a great reply with all the you can muster, brah.

[EuroTrip]

BMW would never make a front bumper that ricey... also those wheels would weigh a ton. The lights I can see happening, although they are a little too acura for my taste.

[dlbrooks18]

I don't understand all the negative comments that render looks so friggin sick to me!

[euG3]

If the new stylin' is functional for cd, I'm on board!

[michaelthepsycho]

Looks good. Lower, wider, meaner, and that big quarter window inspires good visibility.
