 The 4 door 3 series IS out.

The coupe and convertible 3-series will be released in 2006. Just like clockwork, its 3 series tradition.
-They'll both be using a newly developed 4.0L V8 engine producing around 400hp, not the old M5's powerplant.
Your right, I fucked up. I just asumed itll be the same engine since its a V8 and its pushing around the same HP. 
-The picture you posted is a photoshop done by a magazine intern who has not seen the car, nor any mules. It's a fantasy.
As i said, its the only pic i could find. I wish you're wrong about the photoshop cus this looks fuckin sick. Either way, Im sure Beemers not gonna disappoint us with ANY car from the M lineup, especially the M3.

1. You implied that the 4-door M3 was out. Wrong.
2. You have no idea what you're talking about in terms of 2006 being "just like clockwork" the next year of release. I was on the waiting list for the e46 M3 five years ago, and it debuted 18 months after the first 3-series coupe debuted.
3. Everyone makes mistakes, glad I could help you with the details.
4. As I said, it's a pure photoshop by a magazine, and an old one at that. No one from the media has seen any mules, prototypes, or any other version of the M3. It won't look anything like what is pictured if recent examples (M5, M6, current 3-series) are a guide.
