BMW F30 M3 / F32 M3 Spotted Again. Wearing F32 M3 Coupe Front End?

tizzyd · 08-17-2011, 11:26 AM

we need someone to get a video of this sucker so we can hear the engine note to see if it really is going to be that turbo 6, and whether its going to be their first v6 ever or it will just be a boosted n55?

There is no such thing as an electric turbocharger!

Yes, we need a high quality vid in order to figure out whether it is a 3.3l V6 or 3.0l I6. It can be any of them. None is 100% ruled out.

Thank you .. truly enjoyed this- one of the better posts ever!!!!

No the 1M had a gestation period of one and a half years , the original 1er Coupe was launched in 2007 but there was plans for an M back then at the very early stages of it's product development.
But it never took off until Segler brought about the project in 2008.
The 135i was already a good car as was the M3.

I would love to see the M3 sedan at it again!

FstopBMW · 08-17-2011, 08:22 PM

Hopefully BMW offers the F30 M3 rather than having different "lines" of 3-series.. The featured prototype looks muscular, and aggressive, i dig!

It is a 340 with a twin turbo 4.0L V8.

Agreed! Don't we call that a FAN?!?

Found something very interesting in an short message/story about the new 3er family in the new AutoBild No.33 from today:

Quote:

" ... Im Herbst 2012 folgen der 3er Touring mit der Technik der Limousine und der neue M3, der statt eines Achtzylinders einen Sechszylinder mit Turboaufladung und 450PS erhält. 2013 startet der 3er GT. ... "

Seems like there could be an chance for great and surprising news about the new M3 generation ... and this could only meen that there would be an F30 M3 and it were the first in line.

Wait and see!

Nice info. I hope it comes out this way. But I also hope it will be properly developped, and not just like a 1M or X5/X6 M.

atomicdoc · 08-20-2011, 12:25 AM

I have been lucky enough to own my
3rd M3....like the previous iterations there has ALWAYS been sturm und drang about the next M Drei. V8 blasphemy for example....
I have learned to trust the old masters from Munich and wait anxiously for what they can come up with in these challenging times.
The only thing constant in this world is change and the Munchen wizards
Have NEVER failed to adapt and produce an icon....
Except maybe for my E36.....
