If Audi is working on a S Q5, I guarantee you BMW will make a X3M

I hope I hear some 2012 M3s get released. Everyone's been waiting forever and I'm scheduled to fly down to LA to pickup my car next weekend which is only a few days after the ship gets to the VPC.

Anyone want to make a serious cash bet with me on turbo vs n/a. I'll bet anything it's turbo given that every new model is pretty much turbo....
Any takers? |

I am sure it is the m3 but just a note that there has NEVER been an m test mule, atleast dating back to the e39 M5 and all m's since that did not have quad exhaust.
Take of that what you will. I think this is a 335is personally and not an m3 |

I did not read the whole thread, but read some statements.
!! I bought the new sport cars magaine, and there is a "M special" in it, with an interview with Dr. F. Nitschke. I can scan the pages about the "M special" in, and post it in m3post... but the statements I want to share: -NO V6! He says that if the new M3 gets an six cylinder engine, it will be an inline!!!! -There will be nor X3M and X1M in the near future so if you want me to put this up, I do this right after work! |

Sad news to see this early M3-mule testing again ... think it´s the only one with the "cheap" R6 under the hood ... the other M3-prototyps with the complete M Bodykit under the camo have all the new and innovative V6!

The Q5 S is, to the best of my knowledge, going to get the superchared V6 from the S4 and S5 cab. That's really just Audi's answer to the X3 35i, like the S4/S5 are to the 335i. They'll need an Q5 RS - something with 400hp or more - to properly go up against an X3 M.

Also, let me restate it another way for emphasis: No one knows why the new M5 and M6 retain the chassis code from the series model while the new M3 and M4 are rumored not to. That is, no one knows what the significance of these two diverging naming schemes is yet. |

The chassis code changes because of some significative differences compared to F30 not that we should expect full carbon fiber chassis.
Really Uli_HH? It is again a cheap I6 instead of an innovative V6? No. |

Do not rely on these interviews in automotive circles to tell you what is happening because it is pure diversion. Although you think you are getting the hard facts. It is not the time to announce anything substantial.
But some drop little hints or branches to let you know something is afoot. Interview with Ian Robertson for UK Broadsheet. There have been rumors that the new Coupe and Cabrio will be carrying a 4-series badge. What does this mean for the M3? "The M3 is enormously important to us" I cannot confirm the rumours, but whatever the badges on the bootlid, there will be an M3 Model. Note- Whatever the badges. and There will be an M3 model instead of model(s).

The OEM 18s are no longer gray.

A few observations.
1.) We have not seen any F32/33 mules testing. 2.) adding to the above point, it seems that the F80 M3 WILL have the F30 front (the sedan front) 3.) The F32/33 and the F82/83? will be labelled the 4-series and M4. 4.) the F80 launch MAY be before or around the time of the F32/33 launch.
