Can"t wait for the next BMW M3? Worry not, for a preview is here. Kinda. This is X-Tomi Design"s entirely unofficial render of M Division"s all-new Three. And if X-Tomi"s past form is anything to go by, it ought to be a pretty close guesstimate of the real thing. We"re still a bit undecided on the latest Three"s styling, but perhaps a bit of aggression will help make sense of its various lines and creases. The various M flourishes including the M3"s (and M4"s) signature bonnet scoop certainly make the fussiness somehow less fussy. Or is that just us? As an unofficial digital design, there are naturally no stats to back this M3 up. Using the power of guesswork, we"d assume a twin-turbo straight-six petrol engine with somewhere in the region of 500bhp. You"d expect BMW to want to beat the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Mercedes-AMG C63 both currently possessing 503bhp after all, though some added lightness is likely to help the next M3"s performance figures, too. The standard 3 Series is around 55kg lighter than its predecessor.
