Re: Will you buy the new 2012 M3?
The main Joy of an M3 is the high revving V8 and that's the main reason why I chose it over the Cayman Ass.
I noticed from the new M5 Video that the tachometer redlines at close to 7,000rpm...shame.
More preferable for M to lessen the displacement and slap on turbos if they must, but they should NOT make it lower revving or have fewer cylinders!!

yes, if the following criterias are met -
1. at least 60kg lighter than v8 na model.
2. linear in power delivery just like n54 which is very linear in delivery.
3. twin-turbo and not single turbo twin scoll (mod potential
4. hpfp problems plaguing the twin-turbos have been solved.

Re: Will you buy the new 2012 M3?
sure can depending on how much $$ willing to spend.
US guys with big-turbos on n54 are pulling about 750+ bhp on meth.

I think BMW M will make a new 3.5L to 3.7L Twin-scroll Twin Turbo. I say one.
Why? 3L too close to 335. Cannot be too close to M5 also.

The trend for most Europe carmarkers seem to be manufacturing lower engine cc and slap a turbo on it, thus without compromise in h/p and torque. This is most evident in VW and Volvo cars and this has in connection with the CO2 emission foot print control imposed by the European Communities - smaller cc less CO2 foot print.
