No need to pretend that a V8 belongs in an M3. It doesn't.
Maybe the italians will abandon their NA high revvin V8,V10,V12's for a twin turbo V6 based on a Fiat engine
And of the past 4 generations of M3's none had a turbocharged engine.No need to pretend that a turbocharged engine belongs in an M3,it doesnt.

I heard some people say that the F30 328i handles better than its 335i sibling,mainly because of the better weight distribution. So the shorter V8 would have transfered more weight toward the back.
The most successful M3 in sports racing has the shorter block 4,not the inline 6.
