I spotted a white wrapped BMW F80 M3 hiding blue color underneath

Thanks! Must have been exciting!!!

No, I know a blackout panel, but there was really nothing! And I don't think that the M3 gets a completely digital panel. It seems like they are really trying hard to hide everything!

The interior was covered. It had DCT with the M6 steering wheel. The interior trim was covered with black foil, but I think I saw a bit aluminum underneath. I could be wrong though. And as I mentioned I saw the seats a bit.

To ME, the sedan flows better than the M4 coupe, and I may find myself in a sedan M3 once more despite having traded my E90 M3 for an E92 M3. The sedan looks like the beefier variant once again!

Will they make an M4 Gran Coupe? Seems like they are following markets with so many vehicles. Maybe just giving them a try this generation and continuing with any others who do well for next Gen.

Nice! Finally a estoril blue m3 sedan. Had one in 2005 (e36 lol) and wanted one ever since.

I agree. There is something about the stance of the sedan that looks so sharp and aggessive. Its probably how the rear quarters are flared. I'm really looking forward to seeing this car revealed.

"As he stepped in the car I could see that the seats had a leather/cloth-combination, which looked pretty good, but hard to describe.. The outer part was black leather with contrast stitching and the inner part was cloth with some "dots" in ///M colours. Sorry, but I'm very bad at describing. "

Did it look like Alcantara? Or like this:

I'd say not like this. But as I was standing a bit far away I could not see it clearly. And I think it was cloth not alcantara. I could be wrong though.

Do not expect an M4 GC any time soon unfortunately: http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=884560

This will decimate all, after, you put about 15 grand in it or more. If we have to, overnight parts from IND.

On a serious note, thanks for the real spy pics. Not like those thinly disguised marketing photos being passed off as "spy" pics.

AlexN · 09-23-2013, 04:25 PM

sounds like the interior was the M Alcantara.
Here it is on an E46 seat

Pinz · 09-23-2013, 05:19 PM

If the tach is anything like the current M3, it might be difficult to tell what the redline is because it is dynamic, but it would give us a rough idea what to expect...

No, he already said that it wasn't like that. It's probably a little similar, but without such pronounced color dots and stuff.

the car looks awesome!!!

Yes, it is similar, but there were much more dots. At least what I could see.
From the colours I would say this could be close

Awesome, thanks.

Not news at all. It has the LED headlights, shared with the M4. Those have LED signals.

There is a speedo, it is for sure same like in the 640i that i am driving...if ignition is off it appears completely black!

Thurman Murch · 09-24-2013, 12:58 AM

The blue looks lighter than LMB, darker than LSB and has a vivid glimpse of Aegean blue to it... It's almost like a more dark rich electrified version of EBII
