About the GT-R, you must know it is the fastest 4-seater car. It means it does beat the M3. Look to M3 vs. forum and what you see is always M3 vs. C AMG, RS4, RS5, R8 V8, IS-F, CTS-V, 911, GT-R.

I like I6 over V6, but in the case of the next M3 for me it doesn't look right. I think a higher redline is an imprtant thing in an M3, more than in an M5 or X6 M for instance. BMW M can not spend everything on building a new engine from scratch, so it will have to be based on something existant. Either N55 or S63. IMO the S63 is a better base if to consider a higher reving engine as it has shorter stroke than the N55.

As about weight we shall see, and I am very eager:
-the X3 F25 is 30kg than the X3 E83
-the M3 EVO Limited Edition E90 is said to weigh 1550 kg (DIN)
-the M3 CSL Concept E92 is said to be a preview of the next M3 F32
-the M5 F10 is said to be 60 kg lighter than the 550i F10!!!!!!

The answers will come very soon, also when the new 1 Series F20 will be revealed.
