if it is really 500 cars, although I can get 1 from the dealership I purchased my cars from, I will pass. Not worth the effort and premium pay that it will come with.
SCOTT rumor?

Utterly horrible. As small as a detail as that may seem, it completely shatters my "Yes, real brake ducts!!!!!!"-moment when I first saw the cover come off.

Chances are that this is a "show" prototype. Basically what the car will look like. I sincerely doubt that they would produce a car that had blacked out non-fuctional intakes.

How would air hitting the outside side of the tire qualify as brake ducts? Also that big hole closer to the center is the brake duct and it is functional

Yea, lots of teasing, but final product is months away.
+1 it's a tease to stir up discussion. Enough to raise questions and passions, and not enough to say "this is the final car.". Marketing

what you can't see is that they may channel into a smaller tube that turns out at the back of the brake rotors.

I believe as was pointed out in the OP, the left side vent you can see there flows back to where the new oil cooler sits, so perhaps the car has 2 identical oil coolers each in front of the front tires and cooled by air from those front black ducts.
If thats the case, then awesome |

Bring back the lost spirit of BMW -can be seen at the below video- with this new car, I will any price.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw-AxiVqihM And even go beyond, Enter 2012 DTM Season with 1M, rather than M3 if you believe this is the car..

Hopefully, you are being sarcastic, because One of the air intakes on the M3's hood is a dummy intake. It's there for symmetry and aesthetic purposes. So, don't put it past BMW to have fake intakes (vents, slats, non-fuctional diffuser,etc), especially if they don't have true quad exhausts...

I hope you were being sarcastic because FWD BMW is peeking around the corner....

There is no evidence to suggest they will change it. We can suspect that BMW can or will change any and everything. I can only assume that the front spoiler was made this way for a reason, that it was made to look this way due to its style. Perhaps the spoiler shakes when openings are cut into it. We can surmise all day long. We will all have to wait to see when the car is actually delivered I suppose.
