One has to love teaser photos and car companies are usually happy to fill our need. BMW->ke178 has been happy to indulge us with photos of a new model that is fit for U.S consumption. Details on the new model are few and far between, but the company did say that it would release full details on Thursday.

It’s hard to imagine what this new model will be. There are a few M logos throughout the cabin and that leads us to believe that this new car will be a bit more powerful than its brethren and since there is an America-only 335is already in the works, another powerful 3-Series doesn’t make much sense.

The transmission looks to be a double-clutch, but it's still unclear if that will be the only option. The biggest question of all though is what kind of monster will live under the hood. Will it be a tweaked version of the V8 that is in the M3->ke2366 or will BMW make tweaks elsewhere?

We also are waiting to find out if the car will be a sedan, coupe, or convertible. Come back in a week or so for more details.
