Page 68 has pictures and stories about a few new models of BMWs that I haven't seen or heard anything about on the board:
M3 Compact - the picture looks alot like a 318ti. Motor Trend says it will use the M3.2 /333 hp engine with M-spec suspension. It seems as though it is definitely a European model for 2005 and may make it to the US.
M5 - This one has been talked about a bit. MT says it will be out next year as a 2006. 500+ hp V10 and 6 or 7 speed SMG.
Z4M - The one I am waiting for! Model year 2005. Typical M-spec upgrades - suspension, interior, etc. The redesigned rear end looks better than the current Z4, and has 4 outlet exhaust. MT says it might get the M3.2/333 hp or possibly the M V8, but they are betting on the 3.2 so that the Z4 won't outperform the flagship M3.
Check out the mismatched wheels in the spy photos!
