M3/M4 [Spy Shots] 2014 BMW M3 (Impressions, SpyPhotos, Renderings)

You have Xenon lights, not LED. Just sayin. And your blinkers are ordinary bulbs. You're completely missing the point with those pics.

And yeah, we all know the corona rings are LED. Which they are on every single BMW...

The M3 still has the "yellow" corona rings in which case they're not LED. Only the white corona rings are LED.

LEDs do add a touch of elegance to any car design this is a given but it's their lighting ability that should always take priority. Personally I'd never pay through the nose for them just because they look pretty I'd get them because they light the road ahead better.

zzzzzz... wake me up when there is some real news on the M3 and this boring LED discussion is over!

Which is why you get a pair if LUX V3's.

This LED fixation reminds me of these cars.com videos for used GT3s where the clueless chick goes on to tell you the reasons to buy a GT3 include "keyless entry, power windows, power door locks, leather seats...".

Blame the customers, that is what they want. Even the manual disapears from the new GT3 and M3 drivers need head-up display and heated seats to warm their b*tt.

310 kw = 415 hp according BMW VIN.

Doesnt say if its the final power or not but the prototypes seem to have 310 kw.

I won't believe anything till its official or at least "official".

and 3.0 L and the engine name is S55.

^I sincerely hope their predictions are more accurate with the M3 than they were with the (cough, cough 'Twin Turbo') RS5.

There's nothing wrong with this figure as long as weight drops enough the give it more PTW than the outgoing M3 especially with it's considerable jump in torque, I hope I'm wrong but the drop of 250lbs (120kgs) weight sound a bit optimistic.

That's sexy as hell right there.

If it does indeed end up looking anything like this I reckon we have arguably the best looking mainstream performance coupe EVER.

Ain't that the truth.

Even if it only looks 90% like that, it will be an absolute winner.

OT: That magazine article is just horribly written. 7 secrets BMW don't want you to know: it's the Daniel Craig of sports saloons. Wtf? Does that even make sense? Sometimes I really wonder who's at the head of these things..
