I think it will depend how the full-fledged M cars and these cars turn out to be... And their "relative" exclusivity. If they're really good and the ///M badge is not *everywhere*... they could still find that balance...

I hope this version will be available in sakhir and also wonder if the coupe will get a single/dubble bouble on the roof since no power buldge/dome? Are those back tires 305? Couldn't the power dome maintain laminar flow at high velocity?

This really needs a power dome IMO. That's just a classic M3 element at this point.

...and some new pictures:
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There´s also to read: The V6 engine is supposed to be a brand new unit, not a tuned version of the N54 found in the 335i. The focus will also be on reducing emissions and fuel consumption to a significant level. Quelle: Autoevolution.com |

I don't think I would take the front bracings as any sort of definitive evidence that it is I6. Both the 328 and 335 have them and I think we are pretty sure it won't be a 4 cylinder. All it means to me is that whatever engine they are using will fit in the same engine bay and it is easier to leave the front support brace bars (or whatever they are called) the same rather than re-engineering them.

Nah. The E60, F01, F10, and F30 all have similar cross member and radiator placement, and they wear a wide variety of engines.

I got a better idea, why not just take there two cylinder boxer engine, bend it into a V, and stick three of them together. Then, add three turbos. Its just like Legos - simple and easy, right? Or why do we need to start with an engine at all? I'll bet we could rig up an engine from an old transmission, some barbed wire, that pile of pistons over there, and five pounds of German sausage. In summary, some rumors are believable, some aren't. ![]() |

I agree with you. 3.3l V6 Turbo based on S65 is the worst idea possible. |

I'm really liking how this car looks. I already like the F30 M-Sport front a lot better than that the regular 3-series. I suspect this is going to look even better.

What I enjoy most about this car is that it just looks A LOT more proportional compared to the 328i and 335i.
I can't wait to get on a waiting list... ![]()
