It has been pretty quiet here lately. I can almost hear crickets chirping in the background!

The Chicago Auto Show is opening to the general public today. The media preview has already been held. The only new car shown by BWM is the Alpina B7. The show continues through next weekend, IIRC. It may be that BMW will make no announcements until after the show is concluded. I think it would be odd for BMW to announce -- or even preview in teaser form -- a new product during a major auto show without making the preview at the show itself. (Granted the Chicago Auto Show is not even considered the most important show in North America, but nevertheless I think it is still a major show in the scheme of things.)

So I think it will be at least another 10 days before anything is previewed.

So you we're right on this! Chicago Auto Show is over now. 10 endless days of further waiting...
Where's the M3 teaser??? Eni?

Best regards, south

The waiting is getting really old. I'm burned out on speculating and reading tea leaves. It has been a while since anything really new and interesting has been learned. There have not even been any new spy shots recently. Bottom line based on info provided by more than one source: 426 hp (likely less in the US), no HUD, no car for the EU until late 2007; no car for US until 2008.

Wasn't there a guy who supported the annoying wait for the E92 by saying "PR coming next week" sometimes in Jan '06 whereas we had to wait another 3 months for it....

C'mon BMW...all we're asking for are some "sneak" previews.

looks fake to me

Ditto...those are chops.

Edit: Another reason for those being chops is because the E90 M3 is supposed to have a different front-end compared to the coupe. At least thats what I understand from Eni and Scott.

CGIs! Read signature: by Lehmann.

Now those pics have surfaced at WCF

Now those pics have surfaced at WCF

The photos are showing:
2x prototype of M3 Coupe (a few strips of tape on the car were removed by computer)
1 computer image of the four door model

I wonder what they changed on the back of the car... If there was only small tape left there too, the licence plate will be in the boot.

So Eni...when are the pics coming for the M3? C'mon this weekend or next week would be perfect for BMW to rain on AUDI's parade and release the pics of the M3 concept.
