Spy shot - is it an M3? Update: it's an F90 M5

Here's a picture that possibly shows an M3 in camo. It's the car in front of the M2.

Any expert analysis about whether or not the car in front is the M3 would be highly appreciated.

Side mirrors and bottom of rear window/trunk tell me it is not an M3, but being as it is a mule it would be hard to say...

Lets call it whatever you want, since there is nothing you can take away from this pic other than "What do you think is in front; Is that a new paint color that BMW offers on the car in the front?"

The rear fender flares do not look like the F8X version.

Minor correction.

(No idea if your guess is correct though)

Doesn't fit the bill. If you look at the roof, it has an M3 grooved roof. The M5 spy pics show a standard roof with no groves. And since the car in question is a 4 door, it can only mean an M3?

Oops

Fixed my OP.

I am pretty sure the guess is right, since it's been confirmed by Scott26 in the M2 forum
