I still expect the next M3 will get a 6
-
If I had to bet I'd say some form of 6 + turbo(s). Why, the sea-change at BMW & M Div re
* emphasis on Efficient Dynamics
* ever more stringent regulation around fuel consumption in major markets
* the potential to address the weight issue by reducing engine block size
* the indicated willingness to use turbos on the new M car models
While the V6 may seem sacrilegious given the I6 lineage, my surmise is that the best engineering solution format given the design objective / cost will win out ni the end.
