If you follows the posts in some important german forums related with BMW or especially BMW M ... the chances has changed and are also conservatively rated safe 50-50 ... and development cost are never an great problem, significant costs alone are the production costs over the life of the product.

Therefore, I would guess at the moment:
  • Weight +/- 3275lbs. - EU-weight of an german car
  • Engine V6 BiTurbo - based on the S63Tü
  • Displacement between 2.999 and 3.296ccm
  • Redline 7.800U/min
  • hp-numbers between 440 and 460hp (german)
  • Max.Torque +/- 580Nm
  • Acceleration 0-100km / h +/- 4.0sec
  • NOS-Laptime +/- 7.40min on standard sport tires

P.S. this are only my assumptions ... lets look who near they are at reality !!!
