The BMW M3 is a high-performance version of the BMW 3 Series, developed by BMW's in-house motorsport division, BMW M GmbH. M3 models have been produced for every generation of 3 Series since the E30 M3 was introduced in 1986.
The BMW M4 is a high-performance version of the BMW 4 Series automobile developed by BMW's motorsport division, BMW M, that has been built since 2014. As part of the renumbering that splits the coupé and convertible variants of the 3 Series into the 4 Series, the M4 replaced those variants of the BMW M3. Official website: BMW M

Re: Official Information + Images: BMW M3 V8
I wonder why they call this "Jerez Black" when it's the exact same color as "Carbon Black". Both names sound cool though, maybe it's just to make the color sound more sophisticated and thus more appealing to buyers. Beats me.

The E92 M3. Remember that production for the M3 hasn't really taken off yet so BMW still has time to make minor modifications to the car. Modifications to cars are constantly made thorughout their life spans.

Those are the 19" that we've seen since the beginning of the testing, just camouflaged. A mix between the old M3 wheels and new M5. Quite nice

Re: Official Information + Images: BMW M3 V8
As South pointed out in M3 forum, the M3 presentation materials state that its 0-200 time is 15.8
So we have:
E92 M3: 15.8
E60 M5: 13.5-14.1
R8: 16.2
997TT: 12.8
997S: 16.0
E46 M3 CSL: 16.1
360 Modena: 16.1
390 Challenge Stradale: 15.5
996 GT3: 16.1
997 GT3: 13.8
RS4 Mk II: 16.6
What do you say, Just_Me? Time for a new avatar?

BMW claim the M5 does 0-200km/h in 14,7 sec but we seen better times in carreviews, maybe we will see the same case with M3 V8. I wait for independent reviews to see what it can do.

BMW M
BMW M GmbH, formerly known as BMW Motorsport GmbH, is a subsidiary of
BMW AG that manufactures high-performance luxury cars. BMW M ("M" for "motorsport")
was initially created to facilitate BMW's racing program, which was very successful
in the 1960s and 1970s. As time passed, BMW M began to supplement BMW's vehicle
portfolio with specially modified higher trim models, for which they are now most
known by the general public. These M-badged cars traditionally include modified engines,
transmissions, suspensions, interior trims, aerodynamics, and exterior modifications
to set them apart from their counterparts. All M models are tested and tuned at BMW's
private facility at the Nürburgring racing circuit in Germany.
