Sometime last year, a few Photoshop gurus got together and made some very funny “mini” versions of their favorite cars. The trend caught on, and soon lots of people were taking their favorite cars, and through the process of image manipulation, made them mini versions of themselves.
Photographer Brooks Uhrig \227 member of the SB Euro Club discussion forums \227 snapped several great photos of a 2007/2008 BMW M3 coupe prototype in testing in Santa Barbaraa. These are the first photos we\222ve seen of the new car, which is now wearing less disguise than ever
Here are some pictures, videos and press release details on the new BMW M3 GTS due out for delivery after May 2010 in Germany and North America by August 2010.
Spotted crisscrossing Death Valley, California, in 120-degree heat, the M3 prototypes in joshinthecity\342\200\231s exclusive spy photo have ditched it\342\200\231s heavy camouflage in favor of a few well-placed pieces of tape. Up front, you can now clearly see the more aggressive airdam and power dome hood. We\342\200\231re pretty sure the M3\342\200\231s trademark quarter-panel vents are hiding under the taped-on covers, too. Bulging fender flares are another M3 specialty, along with the set of quad pipes out back.

A "Euro" S50B30 or S50B32 engine was the engine provided to non-North America E36 M3s. DA Motorsport is claiming that this turbocharger kit can deliver over 1,000 horsepower out of that engine, while maintaining a stock appearance.

As it comes closer to releasing the vehicle, the disguises become increasingly thin. The new BMW E92 M3 Coupe will be available next year with a V8 engine and SMG transmission.

Perhaps one of the most popular match-ups among car enthusiasts is the Audi RS4 against the BMW M3. It\222s not exactly a fair comparison, because the Audi RS4 is a brand new car and the BMW M3 has been on the market for some time. What\222s more, the RS4 costs a lot more than the M3.
German tuners Manhart Racing got tired of BMW not offering the M3 as a Touring model (wagon,) so they decided to create one themselves. They took the standard 3-series wagon (not available in the States,) and added their own body work, consisting of a front apron, front side panels, side skirts, and the “powerdome” hood from the M3 sedan
, then designed their own M3-style rear apron and widened the rear wheel-arches.
According to Autocar the upcoming E92 BMW M3 V8 will be available with a 7-speed double clutch gearbox. This is not a revision of the previous models SMG which was considered at best a flawed driving experience. It sounds as though the new 7-speed is similar in concept to Volkswagen’s brilliant DSG.
It looks like the new M3 sedan, spied here in testing, will have an identical (or nearly-identical) front fascia as compared with the coupe version, according to speculative discussion by M3post.com members.
Imagine being able to stow your golf clubs, bike, and luggage in the back, while having room in the rear seat for your beloved dog, and, with the help of the 400+hp V8, you’ll get to your destination faster and smoother than ever before.
