If the next M3 has V8 and its red line is around 8000 RPM, I will upgrade my e92 to the new F32 model. |
have you been reading this thread? All the 4 options of the new M3 engine are ported or derived from existing BMW engines (135, 1M, M3, M5)!
if the source is true, BMW is exploring a new way to develop M cars - save money on the engine development and focus on the handling and (hopefully) weight savings. |
Yes existing M3. Not from a regular BMW. S65 was derived from the V10 from last generation M5
