This engine could also share many parts with the V8 S63!

Sacrilege!

This V6 rumor should trouble all M enthusiasts for many reasons, not the least of which is because the S63 is a pseudo-Motorsport engine that was slapped together to power pseudo-M SAVs. The S63 V8 in the X5M and X6M SAVs shares the same internals as the N63 V8 in the X5 and X6 SAVs. The S63 wasn’t uniquely developed by BMW’s Motorsport division (like the S54 was).

I just hope BMW doesn’t continue diluting the “M” brand by introducing ordinary BMW engines and/or forced induction in the M3…
