Well, there she is... beautiful as ever.

Big shoutout to Germany and BMW.

Maybe one day I'll own one of these

I've got no proof if this is the real deal or not.

I assumed it was because I got it off a BMW page on facebook, but who knows...

Even if its a render, it's very nice and ideally i could see it looking like this.

I've seen a whole bunch of examples done by artists and none looked this close.

If you google and search F32 M3, You won't get a real pic of it... but you can find ideal base of the car & it looks very similar to this pic.

Its a render. I knew it the second I saw it.

1) its has the artists sig right in the image...even has a watermark to his deviantart page
2) BMW hasn't released any official pictures (and when they do they have a signature look to them)
3) the BMW forum in the auto news has nothing yet

Besides Sarlaac's great observations, BMW has yet to officially reveal the F32 coupe (isn't due til' mid-late 2013), so why would the new M3 be shown?

You've got another 1.5-2 years til' next gen. M3 is revealed.

Also the background is from our shop.

Its not real. Plus you will see the F80 M3 Sedan pictures well before the coupe.

I think that's the current rumor, but I find it hard to reserve the 3-Series line to just sedans & create the Coupes/Convertibles as 4-Series.

You have. It looks just like the 2012 M3. New one comes out in 2014 at the earliest.

Wasnt it actually announced by bmw? I'm not sure.
I mean they do it to the 5 series

I dont like it.

And honestly I wouldnt buy an M4 cause it loses heritage.
Id just get a sedan and have the M3 logo, assuming it doesnt look bad haha.
