They look like a Recaro, don't be ridiculous.
MB more than likely gets their seats from Recaro, like many auto manufacturers do.

I love the M3 and so far the styling is like none other, but to omit the Power Dome the only difference from the M340i is the hips. The power dome lets you know from a mile away that the M3 is nothing to play with.
Well I guess aftermarket hoods is going to have a field day with this.. Just my 2 cents.

Oooo excited at seeing those seats. Are we thinking they might be standard or an option? I wonder if there could be different seat options!

However, if they use a regular hood, it would be a disappointment, but I'd never consider aftermarket solutions for that. Either the real thing has it or not. With aftermarket you'd do something which you can do with every other regular model, that's fake and cheap. |

Oh, I am sure they will be a costly option.

Lightened the shadows in this pic - interesting deisgn in the bottom left with the angular slat. Very clearly appears to be horizontal grille slats - which seems ridiculous from a historical design lineage perspective. Is it just me or does it look like BMW took the X7 grill, cut it in half, turned each half so the tops connect to make the slats horizontal, and tacked it on the production nose to mask the true grill design??? |

I honestly believe the camo is equal parts them messing with us, and them testing the waters of the vertical grille for a possible future generation. Either that or the "vertical" grilles are much smaller than the camo makes it appear.

But they are also probably messing with us - we will know in September I guess.

The AMG performance seats are a $2500 option, S model or non. So BMW has that baseline to justify a solid gouging.

My very shitty MSPaint for if BMW keeps the current /---------\ shape bumper. This is how I think they will implement the grilles, with the chrome border overlapping the black mesh bits. Also...dammit BMW make a red M car again! Stop saving them for the SUVs lol
