BMW M3 Edition Models revealed

BMW has revealed the M3 Edition Models - available for just 6 months BMW has released details of a quartet of BMW M3 Edition cars, which is a cosmetic job on the already pretty impressive M3 Coupe.

Maserati has released photos of their new coupe, the GranTurismo, in advance of its unveiling at Geneva next week.
