Super exciting. I hope they go with the E90 M3 chassis. 4 doors FTW!

This is very exciting. I have a few questions maybe some of those more familiar with racing can answer.
With M3 production ending soon, how does this affect the current M3 running in DTM for 2012? Surely they wouldn't run the old M3 when the new one is announced. Or would they? ALMS - the M3 has been doing great in the American LeMans Series with the NA V8. When the new turbo M3 is released, BMW will HAVE to use the 6 cylinder turbo engine right? They can not run with the current V8 unless its considered a "production vehicle". They have had similar issues in the past when they ran the V8 E46 M3 GTRs. They swept 1-2 wins but did not use a production engine so there were some problems. Any insight from more seasoned ALMS and DTM fans would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe they are just taking the majority of the ALMS GT car tech with new externals. But I'm pretty sure mechanical regs are different from GT to DTM too. So curious how this is going to play out.

I can't think of a better way to say farewell to the E90 M3. This is going to blow people away. Also i expect vendors to start producing replica parts seen on the car which could also be interesting.

Gents and Ladies, don't get ahead of yourself.
In July we will see a demo - that means it cannot drive yet, just for the looks. THe actual car is still in developement and might change. Also the rules for DTM are about to be changed for 2012.... So guys, be patient and for now, focus on M-Fest on the 'Ring tomorrow

ED the next day!!!
I was searching the net yesterday for auto events in Munich for the 17th of July because I fly into Munich that day, for my European Delivery of my 1M coupe the next day!!!! I didn't even plan this but what an awesome surprise!!! I will definitely be attending and tacking pictures. Oh, I also have reservations at the Four Seasons Sheraton at the Olympic Park which is walking distance to the stadium.
