thanks for the photos!  am liking the overall shape & aesthetics of the car, even tho it looks narrower & less muscular than the current model.  the front grill looks meaner & distinguished from the current 3, for sure...
BUT, take a look at this photo...  QUESTION: Is this REALLY the new bmw m3 -or- is it actually a mid-1990's circa honda civic in disguise?  <LOL>  perhaps they need to compare photos and re-think the rear design...
it would be a low down dirty shame for a $50k+ car to be mistaken w/ a $20k one...
