The only two things where the M-GmbH could surprise its customers are:
- lower weight
- totally new engine concept
Only an better performence than all older M3s also wouldn´t be an surprise, because this was the case with every M3.
It would be an clever and innovative move if the M-GmbH gets its own engine family ... all based on the great S63Tü ... an 4.4ltr.V8 BiTurbo ... an 3.3ltr.V6 BiTurbo ... and an 2.2ltr.I4 Bi(Tri)Turbo.
But if the Informations leaked too early all surprise would be gone.
Yes! That´s right and/but its the only real reason that says N55 based 3.0ltr.R6 TriTurbo with the N57-S turbo system ... but never an surprise in M3 terms.

All what you say is what I have been always thinking. I am very sure on a 2.2l I4 for the M2.
