There are four generations, the first is simply first, the second is a revolution and the third is an evolution of the second, the fourth is again e revolution, it is the most GT and has a V8. All M3s had NA engine and where based on 2 door versions of the 4 door 3 Series. IMO here ends the M3 History and we can turn the page.
Will the M4 really deserve the M3 badge? Yes, but it will be just too different, so better to start a new page.

The M4 will:
-be based on the 4 Series which will be no more be just a 2 door version of the 3 Series, but a different car, like 5 Series vs. 6 Series, even if technically they are related
-have for the first time a turbocharged engine
-have for the first time in BMW history a V6
This.

Every word and implication of it.
