Are you sure it's not a street-version M3 GTR prototype?

Knew that would come sooner rather than later....

Now that BMW Sauber is no more I guess BMW Group would have to purchase F1 tech for huge amounts of money in future

Please please please please make it streetlegal. Powerboost and lighter weight. It would be the perfect way to end the N/A engines

We will be doing something to runout the current E92 M3 as well as the E82 Coupe. But the M Division have manged to transplant the M5's KERS technology to the M3 With the E82 the E92 will be available in two versions one fully equipped with luxuries you would expect from the standard M3 or 135i Coupe and another more stripped out car for real performance enthusiasts.

The 1er will definitely be shown as a Concept Car in the not so distant future. The new 1er Sporthatch debuts mid 2011 with the World Premiere noted for the 2011 IAA Frankfurt , so the Coupe should debut about that time as well.

Great, this will be simply great, and a bit ironic.*

Yesterday we saw the 1er Not-CSL CSL and now this? Ohh...I'm getting excited. I need to rob a bank quickly so I can have money to buy these toys.

No need.. just set up a company... called it NarutoRamen Corp. ...and then simply apply for Government bailout. Buy all the BMW toys you want, and throw in a private jet or few Malibu condo's just for the sake of not wasting that bailout money.


If this M3 is testing KERS, then why does it have a front splitter and a rear wing ? I thought KERS was all within the wheels of the car ?

Has BMW ever made a production car which came standard with a roll cage?

It is not totally uncommon to use cages when testing new models. But I agree that it is a bit strange. But a road version of the GT4 could well use a cage, just like in the Porsche RS models.
