2014 BMW M3 Comes Into Focus Winter Testing

Spied Again With Updated Details!


Not everyhting is about the Geneva Auto Show this week as even more details start to emerge or rather "leak out" about the 2014 BMW M3 as British car magazine Auto Express recently sat down for an interview with Dr Friedrich Nitschke, managing director of M GmbH. Dr. Nitschke was of course a bit reluctant to discuss specifics, he did note the next-generation M3 would have a "bigger focus on very low fuel consumption."

That's a tad vague, but the magazine says the car will feature a tri-turbocharged 3.3-litre six-cylinder engine with approximately 450 hp. Additionally, we can expect aggressive styling and a lightweight body that adopts carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) components.

Below are a few new spy shots we grabbed during winter testing this morning. As you can clearly see the car covered now only by the typical dizzying camouflage tape. You can also make out on the roof an outline for a sunroof so we presume the carbon roof will be an option.

Stay tuned for more information as always!

Let`s wait and take a look at this one first


btw...I saw the mules as well...I think it lacks - just as the F10 M5 - fender arches as seen on RS cars...but one day they`ll do it(the 1M is the best example that they can do it )
