Special-Edition BMW M3 Teased

Roundel fans, mark your calendars. This Thursday, BMW will announce a limited-edition M3 for U.S. buyers. To whet our M-car-loving appetites, the company has released three teaser images of the new car. The above shot shows the 19-inch wheels that come with the M3’s new-for-2011 Competition Package, so expect the special edition to be based on an M3 so equipped. The package also means a 0.4-inch suspension drop plus reprogrammed stability control and electronic damping.

Also unique is a black-and-red two-tone leather interior, a mix of two colors offered on the standard M3. The shots are all of a coupe, so we’re guessing this is a two-door-only affair. Come back Thursday for the full story and to find out what, if any, other changes BMW has in store.
