BMW M3 CONCEPT CAR

BMW M has revealed the first details of the new generation M3 at the Auto Salon from Geneva, with a special concept car. BMW M3 Coupe Concept features a new V8 engine and is scheduled for series production. BMW M3 Coupe concept offers the first information about the production version of the new generation E92 M3 Coupe. The new BMW M3 Concept is based onthe most recently launched BMW Series 3 Coupe (a very appreciated model all over the world, especially version Twin Turbo 335i). For the M3 concept, the body has been redrawn in order to offer the dynamic look that is so appreciated by the enthusiast drivers for over 20 years. The secret of Model M3 is the combination between the day by day car with the power of the engine.

The traditional concept paint finish, "Chrome Shadow" has been used on this long awaited Geneva Show car. The M3 Concept car body has kept without any modifications only the doors boot lid and head and tail lamps. Other than that, the overall silhouette of the 3 Series Coupe has been kept. All the other components have been especially made for the BMW M3 Concept Car. You will be amazed by the most unique exterior aesthetics, which brings into light its superior power.The front apron is dominated by three extra-large air intakes, making it possible for the V8 engine to "devour" air at a faster rate than the previous straight six-cylinder engine.
This new vehicle has a great level of agility and driving stability, symbolised by the muscular front wheel arches which together with the forged 19-inch light alloy rims in the classic Y-spoke design emphasise the vehicle's wide track.

BMW M3 represents the highest definition of driving excellence, and the concept revealed at Geneva Motor Show represents more than a few clues on the model that will be soon driven, said Guenther Seemann, Manager of BMW Group Australia.
