Preview! New BMW M3 / 3 Series Coupe


 Now we see is another piece of the upcoming 2014 BMW M3 renderings, the car will be followed the next generation 3 Series 2012 models listed on the pace of emergence. BMW's M division history since 1972, but it is not the first generation M3 E21 generation 3 Series from there, until 1986 when it introduced the first generation of the BMW M3 sports car, codenamed E30. Earlier this year we reported, the current version of codename E90/E92 BMW M3 will be the last of using a naturally aspirated engine of the M models. If recent rumors are true, then, the BMW Group will be granted use of the N55 turbocharged inline 6-cylinder engine to drive the 3 series, but now this engine's turbocharger still not the final number to be confirmed.
We now see is the author of this renderings from the website of Dan Busi PS-Garage.com all posts, but the inspiration is drawn from the previous spy photos. The two groups before the spy photos captured are still very early test products, from the end of 2014 there are still on sale for a long time, so the government can have a lot of room for change. M3, like cars with wider baffle, front bumper has a larger part of the inlet. Of course, compared to the normal version, larger brakes and a square inlet M series is also consistent flag is set. The new Z4, 5 series, 7 series can be seen the trend, by the impact of new design ideas, a new generation 3 Series body size will be larger, M3 as well. However, there have been rumors before the 3 Series GT models, but is not expected to hang up the M logo. This is easy to understand: since four cars have been removed, the significance of the BMW GT M there will be no. You can see renderings of the vehicle above the lower ground clearance, larger wheels, and equipped with a more aggressive rear spoiler sense. Other equipment include the M Series of square exhaust pipes, side skirts, spoiler above the trunk lid, perforated front bezel and carbon fiber roof, and so on.
The BMW M3 competitor can be said more and more, more and more strong. In addition to rival Mercedes-Benz C-class AMG version, as well as recent Cadillac CTS-V Coupe and the Audi RS5. CTS-V's V8 engine power is very strong, the maximum output to 408 kilowatts (equivalent to 556 hp), 100 km speed 3.9 seconds, M3 only advantage is cheaper than his $ 5,000 (cash price). Audi RS5 impact on the BMW M3 is more intense, both 330 kW power output, and is used RS5 twin-turbo V8 engine, set aside the brand is not that just a performance V8 engine for fans to have a Fatal Attraction.

So for the BMW M3, we have to calm the pressure is still very great. Aside from the above output data, the vehicle can be reported in 4.5 seconds to accelerate from zero to one hundred kilometers an hour, six-speed manual transmission provides dual-clutch paddle and the two options.
Of course, there is more we look forward to the 2013 3 Series Coupe models are worth the wait. Another is from the PS-Garage.com reader Nick Paji Si is on the car for a computer rendering, he said: "This Coupe models with a wider chassis, lower vehicle curve, and there is no framework for a larger coupe doors and engine cover, and so more smooth. "

Now we can do is use their imagination to guess what it was like these two cars, and wait to see the final product.
