The BMW M3 Coupe has ended its six-year production run to make way for the launch of its successor, the 2015 BMW M4, next year.
The company said it produced over 40,000 M3 Coupes at its Regenburg plant in German according to Edmunds.
Production for the M3 Convertible, which will end is run in mid-September, is approaching 16,000.
The new M4 is expected to debut during September's 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show.
BMW has equipped the new model with a brand-new twin-turbo inline six-cylinder engine, rated at approximately 450 hp according to Edmunds.
The M3 was previously equipped with a 4.0-l V8 that could achieve 414 hp according to BMW.
BMW has yet to reveal pricing for the new vehicle, but expect a significant increase once the M4 is finally revealed.
Convertible and Coupe M4 options are also expected to be revealed this fall.
So what do you think of the move by BMW? Are they doing the right thing getting rid of the M3 or should they keep it around a little longer?
