2013 is most likely the year when the new BMW M3 comes out, and that’s no joke! the Germans are more serious than ever about making this car one of the all time-greats, especially now, when everybody is muscling in on the compact executive segment.
The next round of winter testing has already begun for the super-powered variant of the sports sedan that made its debut a year ago. However, this prototype is no ordinary one, as it’s wearing a set of golden calipers, indication a set of BMW M Carbon Ceramic Brakes. These are ideal for track use because they last much longer and aren’t prone to fading.

The F80 generation of M3 is targeting the weight of the much older E46 M3. The power coming from its new six-cylinder turbo engine will be about the same as the current model’s, but torque will be much improved, as will fuel efficiency, speed and acceleration.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
