The goal: Make larger vehicles without increasing weight. The result: Next generation M3. The engineers were able to accomplish something that seems like it would be impossible to do. The built a stronger and larger model of the M3, but still managed to cut the weight by 7% when compared to the previous model.
In an Inside Line interview with Gerhard Richter, vice president, BMW M Gmbh, yet another iteration of the still lighter CSL is a dead-lock guarantee. It seems BMW has figured out that people will pay more for increased agility that doesn’t necessarily include monster horsepower.
BMW created the M3 to be an incredible vehicle and has faith that everyone will have the desire to purcahse one. They are confident that it is a must have vehicle and even stated that they plan to sell more then enough vehicles to go around.
While BMW is preparing to put the final touches on the M3 Coupe version that’ll debut in Frankfurt this autumn, BMW fans are already sharpening their “pencils” to give us a preview of the BMW M3 Sedan and BMW M3 Cabriolet (coupe-cabrio) versions that are expected to be introduced in late 2008, early 2009. Both renderings are the work of BMW fanatic, Gerald Alvarez from NJ U.S.A. Gerald is the same guy who gave us the excellent BMW M3 Coupe renderings a couple of months ago.
