Its not doing the new M3 engine is it?

i have goose pimples

CollinsE90 · 07-08-2010, 08:18 PM

i hope they made the suspension better on the M

ara · 07-08-2010, 08:20 PM

front and rear track seem to be widened and bigger fenders (fender flares), in the video still sounds like a FI straight six, i think something like 360 hp in my mind, but i think they are more focused on the "tracking" aspect on this car, they don't want it beating the m3, so it'll be close.

but if we get enough details and pricing, it'll be hard to choose between this and a pre owned m3

sick! cant wait to see what this has to offer

IFX · 07-08-2010, 08:27 PM

Still wouldn't pick a 1 over an e90...

Nope. The next generation M3 won't have another V8 either. Anticipate an FI inline 6.

LOL goose pimples

I wonder what the price tag is gonna be.

ChrisMT79 · 07-08-2010, 08:40 PM

Hope they do something with the headlights.

Yep, if they don't it still looks like a girl car.

I really doubt they'd use the same engine, however I really doubt they'd use a new one... So maybe n55?

CollinsE90 · 07-08-2010, 08:55 PM

i would guess the n55, they're running out of fuel pump replacements

rsxstock · 07-08-2010, 08:56 PM

the 135 was a go kart, this m will be a pocket rocket

Why... it's a world renowned power plant that has won numbers accolades and has huge modification potential. You can squeeze so much power out of them.

It's probably the same engine used in the 335is and Z4 SDrive35is but with a lot of tweaks.

The new 1er with the n55 and 7dct is a beast. That thing shifts like no other...

because the hpfp issue, its has been a nightmare...the #933 pump hasnt failed so far, but the engine has had more issues as well

it was a beast in terms of modding, but im hoping burger tuning will release a JB for the N55
