UPDATE: 2008 BMW M3 Production Version

UPDATE: Full Press Release & High-Res Image Gallery Here

We made a few calls today and turns out that our doubts weren’t justified as the shots of the production version of the E92 BMW M3 are 100% real. From what we learnt they leaked out as BMW’s intentions were to release them on a later date this month. We also managed to find a bunch of other pictures too that you can check out below. While the exterior remains faithful to the prototype, the E92 M3’s interior is kinda of a let down as we where
expecting something more than a stock cabin with red dial gauges.

As it's already known, the M3 which will go on sale this autumn, will be equipped with a “chopped” version of the M5’s V10, a 4.0-liter V8 delivering 420Hp and a peak torque of 400 Nm or 295 lb-ft (top engine speed is 8,300 rpm). According to BMW the M3 needs 4,8 sec for the 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) sprint (0,4 sec faster than the current model) while top speed will be electronically limited to 250 km/h (155mph).
