If you’re looking for a great compact sports car and didn’t make the cut (or cash) at ordering in one of BMW’s 1 Series M Coupe, there’s some good news in store for you.

The production version of the F20 BMW M135i Concept was recently spotted wearing absolutely no camouflage in your average car park.

It is painted in the Estoril Blue we’ve seen on the market release of the F10 BMW M5 and it has black alloys for a fully brutal effect.

This should mean that the Bavarians have the BMW M135i shaped up for production already and that its market release is really close.

Or it could just mean that BMW like messing around with us and this is all a very elaborate hoax. Don’t forget, April 1st is right around the corner.

Hoping it’s not the guys over at bimmertoday.de who spotted the undisguised BMW M135i didn’t spare it the extremely analyzing looks.

The body kit and the Shadow Line 18 inch light alloys from M performance were easy to identify from a distance so they didn’t stop there.

They’ve concluded that since the F20 M135i is boasting a familiar exhaust system, it’s almost certainly powered by the N55 engine.

As you know that means there’s a 3.0 liter straight six engine under the bonnet which will develop some 300-320 horsepower with plenty of torque thanks to the twin scroll turbocharger.

Hopefully, this spyshot moment means that we’re going to get to see more of the M135i from the Bavarians themselves.

After all, now that the cat’s out of the bag, what’s the point of hiding any more?

Here’s something you don’t see very often, a very sought after car gets spied completely undisguised. It’s one of our favorites, the upcoming BMW M6, in convertible form.

The snapshots came courtesy of Autospies who were lucky enough to be near the Bayonne Military Ocean Terminal in New Jersey at just the right time.

That’ll be the right time to spot a completely naked F13 BMW M6 in the area, among a sea of Bavarian products, including a 2012 M5.

As expected, the next generation BMW M6 sticks very closely to its lesser 2012 BMW 6 Series in terms of proportions but wears a special body kit.

The new body kit is more aggressive looking than the M division has us used to. It’s far from your typical tuner paradise, but the sporting traits of the BMW M6 convertible are now much easier to spot.

After all, no matter how up-class and luxurious your motor is, when it has vents in its fenders, we’re not talking about discrete performance are we?

Other wise, the M division makeover of the BMW 6 Series Convertible seems to follow the usual rules. Four exhausts at the back, enormous wheels and brakes and a distinctive look for the exterior.

Still to be confirmed, but the BMW M6, in either coupe or convertible form, will be powered by the same engine as the M5.

This means there’s 560 horsepower and 502 lb-ft of torque coming from a 4.4 liter V8 with twin turbos. That’s enough performance for a 0 to 62 time that’s well under 4 seconds and a top speed of 155 mph.

The latter is electronically limited, with a possible package option to take it up to 180 mph and in non restricted form 200 mph could be possible.
