The Dravit grey car behind it looks more like a G20 though, it seems to lack a defined nose cone. Maybe someone with a G20 can pop the hood and see if the outline from that angle matches?

Doesn’t mean the red one is fake since nowadays the M3 and standard car share production line.

I'm sure it's been repeated endlessly, but it's crazy how the taillights and the trunk look almost identical to the Lexus GS

Yeah you and 100 others on here need eye glasses.

Highly doubt it. People like to show off carbon fiber and the past CF roofs were not painted.
Oh, I know. Just 3k weave exposed carbon seems a little dated now. But that's not gonna stop people.

As I understand BMW does build a small volume of pre-production cars on the actual production line. Cars that is used for testing and also early test drives by journalists etc. and then trashed. Could be one of those.

True could have been prototype for testing purpose only.

Looks authentic to me so far. Hard to tell but the fenders do look flared. Excited to see the release of it.

Looked like an X4 at first. With the odd proportions, the tucked in wheels, the gaps on that diffuser, I would say that this is a aftermarket company putting parts on a 330i.

When F80 is officially launched, it will be received by an equal amount of "why in the world would anyone ..." and "could not arrive any sooner" comments.

It's inevitable when perhaps the most eagerly M redesign becomes available.

Waiting for official launch pictures.

There is quite a difference and it not being standard would be a big deviation from past M3s.
here in the U.S. the CF roof is standard for the current M3/M4, and if you want a sunroof, the CF is removed and the roof is color matched to the rest of the car with a sunroof.
Correct and that's the same in the UK and exactly what I'm saying.

OP says CF roof is an option. It's not it's standard. I know he saying you can option CF roof or Sunroof at no extra cost. I've had a car with both.

CF roof is standard not an option.
Anyway whatever.

Must be the version w a sunroof.
No roof kink, no carbon and rear diffuser looks aftermarket like you would see at IND. I am not fully convinced this is the M3 but rather a wide body 340.

Everybody needs to calm down.
In my opinion this is a true and unintended leak. This is a pre production model beeing prepped for camoflage / transport by a special BMW factory workshop:
  • The flat black parts are spacers where panels and foil will be stretched over to hide actual contours. Just look how the parts cross the rear reflectors. No production part would be designed like that.
  • The fins on the diffusor also act as spacers for panels/foil
  • No tips on the exhaust also hint prototype

It would be very interesting to have a date of the photo.

The Toronto red image is authentic. I believe this to be the competition model based on the wheel design.

The leaked image of the front .... eeeeeeeh, not so sure.
