BMW M3 Coupe Cabriolet Spy Photos

Bartek Sikorski · 07-05-2007, 07:31 AM

Barely disguised

A new version of one of the world's best-selling high-performance car is preparing for action - and we have the first pictures that prove it will also be coming as a high-performance four-seater cabrio. We can reveal the all-new BMW M3 CC, after our spies caught the car with thin disguising testing at the German Nürburgring today.

The next-generation M3 is the first V8-engined 3-Series, and offers 400-plus bhp - so expect it to race from 0-100 km/h in a fraction over five seconds, and go on to a limited top speed of 250 km/h. Power will be fed to the rear wheels via a six speed manual gearbox or the latest SMG sequential manual, possibly with seven ratios.
The new car should maintain the M3's reputation for outstanding handling. The V8 – derived from the M5’s V10 – will be more compact than the current in-line six cylinder model, while a longer wheelbase will help with weight distribution. Externally, the car takes many cues from the M5, with twin-exit exhausts, front wing vents and discreet 'M' badges, while the look of the all-new 3-Series means an aggressive nose and deeply sculpted flanks. Expect to see the M3 Cabrio in showrooms in autumn 2007.

I really don't know why BMW are forcing that horrible Melbourne Red on E92 M3 cars ...

THat looks absolutely awesome.. I think in that colour the M3 looks better then the C63, that red is just not a photogenic colour

I find the Cabrio even hotter than the coupe!

PS. This grey colour is very nice indeed!
