Nice billboard on Ron Barcelo at the end of the video, one of the best rum ever! Made in the Dominican Republic. I wish they sell it here in the states...

M3 has gone from I-4 to I-6 to I-6 to V8 and now back to an I-6. Not seeing the sacrilege here. Sure its FI, but knowing BMW's M division, they'll find a way to make this car deliver its power linearly. It's no secret that the S65 is one of BMWs best sounding engines, but we are just going to be embracing a different sound. Fwiw, this car reminds me of a flat 6 Porsche, very throaty. For every one complaining about the sound, I guess you guys will have to either deal with it or look at other cars lol. I'm expecting this car to be the most visceral in its class

+1 on that. I don't feel like the new BMW bodies are looking aggressive enough. None of the new M's look as mean as the previous. They got way too conservative. Blah

If sound experience is paramount, then save the money and buy the 335 M-Sport and add aftermarket parts (I'm talking legit ones like Dinan) such as exhaust and other sound enhancing parts and you can get even better sound than any M3 of years past. Heck, I have a friend who's a total gearhead, drives and tracks an enhanced Cadillac CTS-V and the sound it makes will make a GT3 sound absolutely demure by comparison! |

This is the opinion of most current M3 owners. I can see that people that never have owned an M car are happy in this thread.

An E46 M3 owner made that very same argument about the E92 M3 right before it was introduced. Another one made the point of how special the last NA I6 M3 will be to collectors,today you can get a used E46 M3 for about $15k.

Maybe I'm the only one who missed the S54 when the S65 came out, but I'm glad we're back in the realm of the inline 6. Hopefully the car will live up to its older brethren. |

I hear you... but idk i guess we'll all have to wait and see! all im saying is so far, no Good! (with the new M6 and M5 which MOST people are stating they're not happy with what these newer updates have to offer as supposed to the previous in regards to feeling like an M vehicle) So if they go the same route with the new M3 then there will be plenty of disappointments. but we'll see!

The F30 is still the benchmark by a long shot, the F80/82 unlike the F10 M5 is going to be lighter and wider than the car it replaces. Just because the F10 and F10 M5 are no longer the class benchmark, you cant assume the same of the F30/82. |

![]() You cant based your prediction on how great the next M3 will be, based on the current M6. A better predictor will be the car it ll be based on,the F30. |
