Latest Interpretations – More Revealing

BMW is preparing a number of new 3-series variants for launch within the next two years..

Here now are latest prototype shots from cold weather testing, one of the open 3-series convertible, half hidden under a canvas cover and three photos of the matching coupe version. On the rear shot of the coupe the two exhaust pipes are showing that this car is equipped with BMW’s new turbo charged straight six fuel engine delivering 300 HP.

While the Coupe is for launch in July this year, the convertible variant is only due a year later in 2007.

The top of the line M3 will get a V8 4.0 litre engine delivering around 400 HP. Furthermore three Diesels will be available performing 163 HP to 272 HP.

These are photoshopped, at least according to several web sites.

In the email we received with the spy photos there was NO mention of retouching. Are there any copies of the untouched images I could see to make up my mind? Otherwise I can't really comment until I hear back from the photographer.

Also they are not FAKE. We've now been told the front foglights and rear taillights have been retouched via photoshop. we're waiting on the originals to see the difference and will update the post when we do. we were not told about the retouching originally.

but to say they are FAKE is completely wrong.

Sad that they didn't unveil it at Geneva; it sounded like they were going to.

Sort of hard to believe that there aren't more spy photos out there; we must be getting close to the intro and these cars must be out there somewhere. You would think that once word got out where they were testing, the spy photos would flourish.............unless they're all fakes/photoshops.............. ........and it's still another year.
