The standard BMW 3 Series hasn’t even been unveiled to the public yet, but these images reveal the BMW M3 version is not far off. Clearly visible are muscular wheelarches, an aggressive front bumper and a larger rear apron, including the trademark quad exhaust pipes. The wheels are taken from the current car, but expect the finished version to come with unique lightweight designs.
The BMW M3 2014 is rumoured to be getting an engine that lives up to its name, in the form of a 3.3-litre straight-six unit fitted with three turbochargers – two driven by exhaust gases and one driven by electricity. This unique set-up is rumoured to offer around 450bhp – that’s compared to the 414bhp produced by the current 4.0-litre V8.
The BMW M3 2014 pictured here is based on the four-door BMW M3. But it’s likely that the two-door BMW M3 will arrive in the UK first – as was the case with the existing version – some time in 2014, with a price tag in the region of $90,000.
