A few things that I would bet on for the next generation M3--it will have more power, it will get better gas mileage, and it will be FI.

The three things you "bet" on are confirmed.

Also, there are not that many steps between what we are seeing and the finalized version. Did you read the whole thread?

At 0:29 minutes in the video, it seems to me that it sounds like a 335i with an exhaust. The BMW Performance Exhausts sounds like that when coupled with downpipes. I think it could very well be an inline-6 with an aggressive exhaust.

Porsche has (allegedly) just done this with the new 911 and if true I don't know how the hell they've done it either.

I wasn't being literal on the number of steps. Obviously.

And yes, I read the whole thread.

My point is that no one knows enough about a car that cannot be purchased for two years to say anything too final.

How do you know the gas mileage will be better ? Have you driven both ?

Hedges · 09-29-2011, 08:19 PM

Well guys that will be my next car!

Singletrack · 09-29-2011, 11:51 PM

Sounds deep and bassy.

m balla · 09-30-2011, 01:52 AM

sounds like v6... my call: 3.3L tri-power turbo set up w ~ 11:1 compression ratio... Small electric compressor feeds twin scroll and then twin scroll feeds larger diameter Garrett turbo... W wastegates in place to divert exhaust flow from smaller turbos at lower rpm which equates to better low rpm sound or dual twin scroll w cross cylinder bank manifold set up similar to m5 engine... And I'm sure they'll find a way to include the air/ water heat exchangers from m5 set up

kaykay · 09-30-2011, 03:46 AM

I'm sorry but that car sounds like a Honda

Muffnbluff · 09-30-2011, 09:36 AM

Obviously this is not a production exhaust, production car won't sound anything like this.

Also, what do you expect a turbocharged six cylinder engine to sound like? The GTR is very quiet.

I am glad that I was able to get a E92 for now. I will see in 2018 how the new one is.
