Moreover, would they help justify the X3?s ever-climbing price?Mild exterior fresheningWell, it looks better. Or at ...

Fourth-Generation BMW M3 Debuts
2007-04-05 13:40:00 MUNICH, Germany ? Less than four weeks after it was unveiled in concept-car form BMW has pulled the wraps off the definitive production version of its new M3. The muscular-looking two-door, planned to go on sale in North America as a 2009 model following a planned public debut at September's Frankfurt Motor Show, is the fourth iteration of BMW's original motorsport-inspired coupe.If it looks familiar, that's because the production car is a virtual carbon copy of the earlier concept shown at the Geneva auto show last month. The two share the same styling and design features, down to the finest detail.The new M3 is once again based on the 3 Series coupe. However, a host of visual modifications make it appear more athletic than its standard sibling. They include a deep front spoiler, a distinctive power dome in the hood, chrome air vents behind the front wheel arches, new exterior mirror housings, widened fenders and four chromed tailpipes. It is all set off by new 18-inch forged al...
