The reveal of a model as important as the all-new BMW M3 wouldn’t be complete without a decent set of leaked images surfacing prior to their official release. And here we have, in uninhibited pictorial form, the new M3 sedan and M4 coupé.
Technical details for the duo have been previewed by BMW and tell us the cars will have a 3.0 litre straight six cylinder engine enhanced by a pair of mono scroll turbochargers. Power will be around 320kW, maybe slightly more, and torque in excess of 500Nm.
For the last time, perhaps, you’ll have the luxury to choose between a proper 6-speed manual or a fancy pants 7-speed DCT to help you change gears. Weight has dropped by at least 80kg from the old model as well.
We’ll have the full press palaver for you once BMW hits the send button. For now, enjoy your first decent gander at the world’s very first BMW M4! You know what, and it’s sacrilege to say this, but on first impressions we reckon the four-door looks better.

Both look great. M4 looks much better than E90 version but have to say I prefer the M3. Something about the diffuser on the M3 sedan looks a bit boxy and rice compared to the M4 coupe. But all in all a pretty good package!
Damnit I got confused with the M3/M4 nomenclature!
Yas marinas blue is really growing on me!
It’s not you that needs to be convinced robbo!
Sacrilege … meh. M3 looks better than M4.
