Spied, Yet Again: 2013 BMW M3 (F80)

Our Teamspeed spies snag us a few new shots of the next generation BMW M3 sedan in the famous BMW dizzying camouflage tape. As we have reported before, the new M3, which is internally called the F80, will be the first of the M versions to appear on the market in summer 2013 based on the new platform. The coupe version will follow a bit later on and will most likely be named M4 since the new 3 series based coupes and convertibles are rumored to get the 4 series name. But there is still plenty of time until the M3/4 Coupe makes its debut so things may change by then.

Easy to make out on this prototype are the wider fenders and the big air intakes in the front bumper. Big brakes and the quad exhaust pipes are other typical M features that we can see here. Power is rumored to come from a turbo charged six cylinder engine this time, we are still unsure if there will be two , or three turbochargers.
