relative to the e46M3, the track spy photo of the supposed new M3 we saw a couple days ago additionally fits your equation. I can only think about the Frankfurt Auto Show pre-production spectacle and the major (and successful)effort at disguise right up to the Geneva unveiling--amazing how it has become so understated this time around. Even the V8 is being touted as a 100 hp chip off the M5/M6 V-10 block.
