Yeah looks like an M6. If the M4 comes with the V8 twin turbo.. I am pre-ordering and trading in! lol

I'm going to vote that it is one of the worst video editing jobs in history.
At 32 we can see the grill style, the front concept plate, etc... at 127 we can see the front bumper and fascia in downward view. Definitely not the same car in my opinion. But it would be super cool if I was wrong. |

According to the new "Visit to the M Studio" on M3Post (see: http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=841012), the engineers they spoke with confirmed that the new engine would be turbocharged and have six cylinders, though they would not comment on how many turbochargers or whether the engine would be inline or V. As much as I'd love for the next M3/4 to rock a twin-turbo V8, BMW would never cannibalize their upmarket M cars that way. Too bad too, because that's just about the only thing that could make me want to trade my current M3 in for a new one. HUD and a weight reduction are both tempting, but not enough to trade off the glorious S65 for a turbo 6.

Sorry man, you're way off. Not the same car. They will not put that heavy engine in that car. Secondly it's been confirmed its a inline 6 turbo. 415 HP and 392 Torque.

In any case, I'm not too worried about it since I expect to keep my M3 for many years to come. The only other cars I'd even consider owning at the moment are the BRZ (if for some reason I couldn't afford to keep the M3 anymore or stopped tracking and wanted something where more of its potential could be enjoyed on the road), a Porsche GT3 (too expensive for me at the moment), and maybe a C7 Vette Z06 depending on how that turns out. Obviously those are all very different cars, but at this point in my life my primary focus is on "smiles per mile", and that can be delivered in many ways. Other things like creature comforts are secondary.

Ha, you say this now. I have too many friends that sweared how great the S85 engine was until they bought an S63tu engine and fell in love with the sheer insanity of torque. For the next M3/M4 the extra 100ft/lbs of torque combined with at least a 300lbs lighter chassis is going to be just as prodigous as the S63tu's 502ft/lbs of torque. Also if you ever hear my F10 M5 in real life, you will forget all about the symphony underneath the hood of an E92 M3. I'm sure with a proper exhaust setup the F80/82 ///M car will have a very good sound to it. The E92 M3 will go down as a legend in car history no doubt, but the next M3/M4 will have an even greater legendary status. I know this to be true when I used to be the biggest fan of that high revving V10 but now I don't long for it anymore.

No, I meant drive it on the track! The torque is very beneficial there as well. Acceleration for passing on straights is stunning.

I was discouraged reading about this in the magazines when the F10 M5 was introduced but after actually owning it, it's not a big deal. The car is too insulated to hear the factory exhaust, but if you want aftermarket then the "fake" exhaust won't even be noticeable.

Out of curiosity though, is your impression of the F10 M5 feeling like a loaded 3 Series based on track time or strictly road driving?
