New E92 M3 caught testing - next CSL or perhaps GT?

[NZ_M3]

Car looks like a tuners car, looks like a KW logo on the boot.

I partially agree. But according to other sources the wheels used is identical to the recently spotted 1 series coupe lightweight/competition (tii perhaps)

Seen here:

The F20 will debut (3/5 door hatch) 18 months before the current coupe is sent out to pasture- this will be a performance edition to keep the interest up and current (much like the ZHP on the E46).

This will be a CSL like car- not badged CSL (possibly Csi or tii). This will preview the Super Sports edition that will be introduced in the next generation and be the high end coupe model.

The performance and lightweight components on this car will not be options on "regular" models and will not be based on BMW Performance accessories.

Testing currently is a CF roof, hood, and trunk- Special lightweight (BBS) wheels, new highly bolstered seats and Light Weight glass. Engine is still TBA and in testing.

I spoke to a test driver myself and he said as far as i knew it wouldn't happen.

What is that spoiler all about? I didn't think the GT4 M3 had one full stop...

Actually that's not true .. the race versions do run a wing:

That isn't a standard FIA GT4 car though, and the wheels look like e46 CSL wheels to me?

No, defo not a GT4 there! I watch enough of it on Men and Motors, they are basically stock cars...



Love that 1-Series above...

They are definately not E46 CSL wheels. Look at how the spokes meet the rim. Spokes are also thinner.

There are a variety of E90 M3 race cars out there, the GT4 is very standard and thats what BMW want to base the customer cars on. I think they need to go further.

IMO it can only mean good things to come for the BMW brand. I'm still not fully liking the new M3's shape but it is growing on me...
