Doubt it's any 2 series model. Not a single 2 series prototype has even been spotted in testing yet. And a 2 series coupe will have a higher greenhouse (like current 1 coupe) and not as long.

Look at that F32 4 series coupe spy pic in the article. It's spot on in size and shape!!

Come on!! Someone should just do it!!!!

Being able to see the new M3 coupe 2+ years ahead of its release would be sooooo cool. Worth the risk IMO

This is def not a six series. It has the rims seen on the prototype M3.

This leads me to believe it is either an M3, or an M4.

Because of the style of body, from what we can see, this looks like a coupe.

Even more interesting is the hood has a bulged area like a power dome. I bet money this is an M4 and it has a power dome.

Can it be called M40?

That will be an ///M-fortified 4er Series car.

I bet its all "swirled" up, but still, here is what someone needs to do...
-Buy some homeless guy a ticket
-Have homeless guy not enter with you
-Have your camera ready
-Have the homeless guy pull off the cover
-Snap pics, walk away
-Homeless guy gets thrown out
-Act like you have no idea who the homeless guy is
-Continue your tour
-Post pics on bimmerpost.com

kdiggz · 07-09-2012, 02:56 PM

Why can't someone just peek and let us know? What's the worst they can do? If that was near me I would have already

If they reveal this soon (when is the tarp supposed to be removed?)...
Does it mean the M4 will be released before the 4-series?

Mr. ///M3 RD · 07-09-2012, 03:11 PM

I don't care one iota, got my e92 the last of the V8s that BMW will make in the ///M3 format and that is all I wanted

... 4,000 KM now on my babe and she will last me a long ... long time

Does no one carry around a large fan with them anymore?

Set it up 50 ft away- fwooosh- tarp goes 100 ft- plenty of time to take photos.

palpatine_us · 07-09-2012, 03:18 PM

too late.

Honestly, i'm more curious to see what the F32 4er looks like, b/c the M4 will be an aggressive take on the regular 4er. Once, we see the F32, we can more easily speculate what an F82 will look like.

I think the assumption that the execs or internal folks who are (were) getting a peak at this car have already seen the F32, and this is simply the next car on deck for approval/review/circle-jerking.

NELSON.MLGB · 07-09-2012, 03:31 PM

I would give my m3 to the guy who lift the cover now for free! What a tease!!

Harold Wood · 07-09-2012, 04:24 PM

I would like to think its the M4 and let the slow striptease begin!

The "last" of the V8s? you mean the ONLY V8 a M3 will have ever have? you can still get an M5/M6 if you love the V8. I do love my V8, but its just added weight that is not needed, I look forward to the new turbo 6s and 4s, and by that I mean the M3, RS3, CLA AMG (because I am pretty positive the next gen C63 will get the new V8 since the SLK AMG got it and the RS5 has a V8).

0-60 in the very low 4s with lower weight (better handling) and 25MPG when not driving it hard, count me in!

amirz1000 · 07-09-2012, 04:40 PM

^oh sweet!! I like

SCOTT26 · 07-09-2012, 04:41 PM

The car will be back at Garching.
