First deliveries are scheduled to begin in Germany next May, carrying a sticker price of 115,000 euros (about $170k) before taxes. Official engine specs haven't been released, but we're sitll looking at somewhere in the neighborhood of 450 horsepower from the 4.4-liter V8, driving through the Bavarian automaker's 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. That's about all Munich has given us so far, but we've got a gallery of photos and a video after the jump for your viewing pleasure.

Nice! This will probably be epic around the track. I keep saying 2010 is going to be a good year for cars, so far so good...

This car needs more widebody treatment.

For what? Don't need to rice this thing up.

I like the idea. Nice alternative to the GT3 (and RS), for those that want RWD and transaxle in a track car. Just realised its got CSL styled wheels.

Guess we're going to see a lot of those around the N'Ring.

Because wide body kits look awesome. This car just looks boring.

And funny enough .. right now it just looks like someone stuck a wing on M3 .. you know the sort of things that ricers do.

pretty much, its still got the lil' trunk lip too... I really don't understand why most of the manufacturers shy away from the regular manual transmissions on these cars...

I agree with the need more wide body and in all honesty I'd rather have this M3 over any (my friend's supercharged E92 M3):

Wow, wow, wow. I think I might actually make love to this car! It is just so sexy.
That price is pretty ridiculous though. But I do remember the E46 CSL costing about twice as much as the regular M3, so this is kinda on par with that.

Whoa, whoa wait...no manual? Bastards. Some of the equipment on this will probably have a trickle-down effect. We'll see it as an M3 Competition package or something.

If memory serves me correctly, I think the E46 M3 CSL also only had the SMGII gearbox.
