Update II – The Full Monty on Car Magazine’s 2009 BMW M3

Like we noted a few days ago, Car Magazine’s February 2007 cover story featuring the 2009 M3 that aroused a lot of questions in the "bimmer" community was a mere photoshop… Here’s Car’s online article to prove it:

"BMW M3: It's only the first week of 2007 and we've already landed the scoop of the year: the new BMW M3. CAR's spies have obtained design documents leaking the look of BMW's new super-saloon - several months ahead of its launch this summer.

We used the blueprints to produce a series of four stunning computer-enhanced images revealing exactly how the Three range-topper will look. A sculpted front spoiler punctured by two deep air intakes and a reprofiled bonnet paint a menacing face; elsewhere, the M3 is distinguished by trademark M side gills, 19in alloys and a redesigned rear apron with the licence plate nestled low down in the back bumper.

Under the bonnet lies a V8 of between 4.0 and 4.2 litres' capacity. For full technical details, read the story in the latest CAR Magazine: we've got the full monty, from power outputs to redline details; 0-60mph times and transmission spec." Pic & Article via: Car
