For the new M3 we are looking at fuel savings of about 20-30%.

Do not understimate the prowness of BMW engineers.
Every option for each car begins in a brainstorming session where ideas are put down on paper. So yes BMW have developed a prototype V6 but when evaluated we found it did not suit the intentions of the car.

There are lots of other engines that you do not know about by our engine development unit. right from a two cylinder upwards to a 9.0 64-valve V16 which was designed for Rolls-Royce and will never see the light of day in any production car.

What you have to be careful of is that unorthodox choices for BMW such as FWD and V6's are being evaluated because one day we could run out of options with increasing legislation. So we have to adapt these choices to BMW thinking without compromising on what makes a BMW great.

A tri-turbo? No way.


Turbo is to Supercharger as Square is to Rectangle

Nice update Scott.

Inline 6 is good news and 20-30% fuel savings is very nice too.

Speaking of v16 Rolls:

Well said Scott

Just keep the performance dynamics sharper and sharper with each generation. Also, keep the cars looking good (i.e.: not like that last 1 )... like the current 1 coupe, 1M and definitely like the new 5, 7, X5, X6, Mini ...

Looks wise coupe has the sedan beat by a wide margin. None the less I also hope they make a sedan version for all the folks that want one.

If you take an closer look at these pics ... you could easily see, that this car never, never was an simple F30 M-Testmule for the F32 ... its really an real F30 M3 Prototype(!) ... it make no sence to develop this production wide rear F30 m-style-fenders for an F32!

And since the F32 would get an total different shaped body/frontend its the same with the wide front F30 fenders!

No bullshit equipment nobody needs - natural aspirated - 6 speed manual - awesome seats - awesome brakes - real lightweight

Guys...we don't need stuff like "12 zone climate control", leather on the dashboard, "486 speakers sound system", parking sensors, rain sensors, start/stop automatic, Internet, TV, .... and all that stuff which adds weight and doesn't have nothing to do with a real driving machine! ... absolutely nothing!

All of these features are really nice to have and perfect for a 320d daily driver. But where's the real M-Car?
Why are we loosing the high-rev engine? The best of the breed of engine technology?
Why are you adding more and more weight with each generation?

A good friend of mine has a 1M Coupe with all mods done. That thing has over 390HP and massive torque. But even though. Pedal response is "slow" and driving a turbo will never give you that feeling what a NA engines gives you. The direct and lightspeed connection between your brain, foot and the butterfly valves.
Compared to a optimized M3 it's really a shame that the 1M Coupe has a M badge.

Another good friend of mine had the new Z4 with the 3.0 biturbo for 2 days from the dealer. He's a carnut like me and no ... he didn't buy it but bought a fairly used driving machine. The "old" Z4 M coupe.
Whatta difference. The new one is a fat comfortable crusing machine. But in terms of performance and feedback from the car and the street it feels like a schoolbus. Really. I'm absolutely disappointed of the "M brand".
Every new car they throw onto the market is getting more and more extras and weight and looses feedback as well as beeing a driving machine.

That's why I sold my GT-R and bought the M3. The Challenger is still here because it's not comparable and I just love that thing - but it's not a track tool.

And to be honest. After driving a track ready M3 e46 I know I should have bought that instead of an e92 M3.
Perfect summary. Can't put it any better than that......and for the guy who sai ///M cars are about efficiency, sounds like someone has been drinking the BMW ///Marketing Koolaide and really doesn't know the history of ///M cars and the tenants that USED to drive that division.

SCOTT, I think you are leaving out a HUGE point here. ///M have always been a about a car with a soul as well. Do you not think or realize the loss of that "soul" that may occur when you abandon N/A engines? Listen, the N54/N55 tuned all day long does not feel like the S54, S65, S85 engines.......they just don't feel the same. Power is not everything, DELIVERY of that power is everything. How you MAKE that power is everything. Sorry, but if you took the current ///M3 and just switched out the S65 for a tuned N54/55 it would not feel like an ///M or as special as the car does now.

Don't underestimate the power of the soul.......because once its gone......IT IS GONE FOREVER.

Great point Jason. I think anyone making comments on this mule from a visual aspect really is MISSING the boat. We all know mules are just basic exterior cladding meant to be used to test the guts of the car, not the looks.

Though could we please get BMW NOT to use the ///M vents in the F30/32 ///M3, cause they are hideous!!!!!

BTW - AMD never did that, they advertised processors as follows:

AMD 3200+ (2.66Ghz) The 3200+ was used so you could compare AMD to Intel processors. Similar performing processors ran at different speeds.

ie. AMD 3200+ (2.66Ghz) is equal to a 3.2Ghz intel

AMD is finally getting away from that naming schema.

well the 3200 number was a number they pulled out of their A$$
most cpu benchmarks showed they did have an advantage, but not that big
so the 2.66 was closer to a 2.8 intel cpu

and they did try to emphasize the 3200
if you looked at any of the boxes for the CPUs
the 3200 was written in big bold letters
here's an example, it doesn't say the real clock speed anywhere on the front of the box. so to most consumers they will compare the 2.8ghz on the intel box and see this as 3.2 and they'll buy AMD


don't get me wrong
i love AMD, but i still think that was a little misleading marketing
much like the new 4 series
humans have been trained to prefer higher numbers
ever seen a boombox lately?
1000Watts PMPO !!!
when in reality it's like 25w rms
so yes i'm predicting the 4 series will cost a lot more than the 3 series
bigger difference than between e90-e92

and that's what pisses me off
BMW is maximizing profits, increasing sales, but yet they are too cheap to let the M engineers make a custom engine for the next M3
they said here are the existing engines, mess around with them and make a pretend M engine.
case in point the 1M
if the next M3 has that stupid "Powered by M" sticker on the engine, like the 1M, i'm not buying it

Exclamation I predict that

1) most folks will buy the new M3, becuse they just want to be seen in the latest and greatest.
2) I'm getting a P-car next...

The reason the A5 works is because they used the A5 name from the start. The 3/M3 name has a lot of history behind it and I really don't want to see the 4 series name. Even if they still keep the M3 name but use the 4 series name for non-M models it will still be a dumb idea.

Lol @ AMD comment. I had that processor!

There are lots of other engines that you do not know about by our engine development unit. right from a two cylinder upwards to a 9.0 64-valve V16 which was designed for Rolls-Royce and will never see the light of day in any production car.

What you have to be careful of is that unorthodox choices for BMW such as FWD and V6's are being evaluated because one day we could run out of options with increasing legislation. So we have to adapt these choices to BMW thinking without compromising on what makes a BMW great.
20-30% that is pretty vague, but I guess until the car is tested more they won't really know for sure. I bet the 20% is more for city and 30% on highway which seems right for a i6 3.2L, 17/25 is my final guess at mileage when this beast is released which would be GREAT, no gas guzzler tax!

perfect car for me (which won't happen anytime soon) would be minimum 20 mpg combined, 0-60 in 4.0 seconds, 4 doors (kids), and AWD (my daily driver in Chicago, I know snow tires work fine and I use them now, but with that much power and how bad our winters can get, AWD still helps). Maybe the M4 Gran Coupe in 2016 will have an AWD version

So strange. You act like BMW has some kind of choice when it comes to carbon emissions, fuel economy, etc. for their future cars. They don't. Which means if you want a powerful motor, and want to continue to sell cars globally, you must use some type of forced-injection.

As far as "soul" goes, have you driven the 2012 M5? I think if you did, it would change your mind about what makes a car's "soul"
