The hours are ticking down, and the goods are emerging as from a tipsy starlet in a drop-neck top. The still-unrevealed E90 BMW M3 sedan will likely be unveiled in Frankfurt, and a new series of un-camo'd shots reveal its quad pipes, pie-plate disks and bulging flanks. Under the hood can only be the V8 that's been inspiring raves from the automotive press for its revvability matched with around-town tame. Techies will marvel at its eight throttle bodies, while purists will lament its relatively low torque number and overengineering. Audi RS4 freaks will wait for the lighter CSL (coupe, of course) version to see if they've got anything to worry about. [M3Post]
