Spy shooter Brenda Priddy and her team have spied several next-generation BMW 3-Series variants in the past several months. Here are a couple of shots of the ’13 BMW M3 sedan.
The sportier wheels and tires, big brakes, cross-drilled rotors and quad-tip exhaust were all the team needed to see to know they spotted M division's latest vehicle.
Because it's still very early in development, details about this car are a little slim, but the biggest question remains, "what BMW will do with the motor?" The rumors that Priddy and her team have heard suggest that the new M3 may feature a straight six-cylinder motor with three turbochargers, good for 450 hp.
According to Brenda Priddy, BMW M boss Dr. Friedrich Nitschke said of the next M3: "There will be a bigger focus on very low fuel consumption, and the new M3 will prove this."
This seems to lend some weight to the tri-turbo, six-cylinder motor.
