The X5M/X6M and new 1 series have been fully leaked online and so far bmw has managed to keep the new M3 under wraps. Although in the last 6 weeks far more images and leaked have surfaced online.

If the car is to be unveiled at the Frankfurt motor show, which itself is the worst kept secret in town, I would expect to see some better leaked by July/August

It's very ambitious for for customers to get deliveries this year ? Even in December ?

I think for the UK ordering will commence towards the end of the year and then deliveries will start for March 2020?

Do we know anything 100% whether the M3 will have a DCT or conventional auto shifter ?

I've got a 420d I'm chopping in for the new M3 and guys it will be a very very very very long wait

United we will support each other !!

Just stumbled upon these pics where the hood-line looks noticeable, those that said the M3 and 4 series will have the iVisionDynamics concept grill seem to be likely right, either that or it will be similar to the 7, either way grill looks to be tall

I like the vision dynamics car as a unique concept that has to meet no DOT regulations or fit into budget around scale production manufacturing capabilities.... However i don't see how this will translate well to a real production car... i feel like even a small compromise will ruin the look and the front end will look disjointed... will have to wait and see to cast judgement

I wonder for us Front Plate states where the plate will go, especially since BMW puts the radar below the grills

Also unlike the concpet, the headlights and top of the kidneys' don't look their level with each other, the kidney's are taller, similar to the X7 and 7 series

If the kidneys are really going to extend all the way down, I was thinking they may just pull an Audi and have the plate holders sit on the grilles...

I really hope that isn't the case, that won't look good

We bring you the latest sighting of the G80 M3 prototype, this time with a production rear bumper. We also get the best look yet at the large vertical kidney grilles, which it will share with the G82 M4. Finally, we have the first undercarriage shots!

Oh no. Tell me those kidney grills don't cover the entire front bumper...

If so, there goes my next purchase.

It's weird because it looks like it has dual horizontal slats now?

Rear fenders look aggressive.
Front end could be amazing, but may take some time to get used to.
Muffler painted black will completely disappear.

There's always a guy that immediately states he will not be purchasing another car (as if the sky is falling) as each new detail of the forthcoming model is revealed (probably the same guy that said it when BMW announced the F8x would be turbocharged).

Looks like this guy has a ZF 8HP. I'm assuming the 6 speed is on the truck as well.
