Rumor: Next BMW M3 sedan to be replaced by hatchback M3 GT

BMW M3 Sedan

BMW has, for the last 5 or so years, been on a campaign to up the ante and make more horsepower, with larger engines replacing the traditional high-revving, often turbo or supercharged engines.

Now, though, BMW seems to be returningto form, with V8s coming back where V10s had been used, and inline 6s coming back in lieu of the V8s that have gone into more modern M3s. But with this redesign, will the German car legend begin to go in a new direction with the styling of the new M3? With the X6, 5 Series GT, and the X4, BMW has shown that they like the hatchback design, and it might make sense for the car moving forward, to distinguish it from older M3 sedans.

Wagons have always been a love-hate concept; express your love (or your hate) in the comments below.

    I am interested to see the design of this new M3. I am reminded of the M coupe in the late 90s, which I deeply loved. I haven’t seen as many sports cars in that style since then. Although there has been the 135i hatch in Europe, I wasn’t so bent on getting one, based on the sportiness factor. If this comes through I would love to see it as I am VERY interested.

    Not a big fan of the BMW GT look but interested to see how this turns out. The look of the current M3 is perfect imo
