Is 2008 really the estimate for the next M3 to come out? That's what Motortrend has listed anyways. Engine-wise they hint at a V8 this time, producing around 400hp. I can't see BMW using a V8 in this car personally. Motortrend reasoning was a V8 version of the new V10 going in the M5. Either way, I'd expect prices to soar farther up?

With the Acura RL, Audi S4, Volvo S60R, and other all wheel drive performance sedans I certainly hope BMW has a M3 sedan with AWD lurking on a design board somewhere. Come on guys lets have something to compete with them!

| The M3 is a coupe currently. I've heard rumors it'll be changing to a sedan and a even higher performance M4 coupe will supercede it. Who the heck knows! | |

a V8 is a must in the next Gen M3, given the V8 competition (S4, IS400). As for awd, many think it a neccessity to get all those horses hooked up. I don't neccessarily agree but that's where the marketing side comes in. Speaking of marketing, there's no way BMW can wait til '08 for the next M3/4 while Audi cleans up w the S4 and Lexus introduces the IS400 (or is it a 430?).

The current 3.2l pumps out 333hp, but the torque is a bit low. Why can't they just up the displacement a little? If they went up to say 3.4l, they could get about 355hp probably out of it!

I'm thinking of buying BMW M3 2005, but I'm a little afraid that I'll be stock with old model when the 2007 M4 comes out. I will like to enjoy my M3 at least for 3 years before the new model comes out. What you guys think???

| I can see waiting if you want SMG. Otherwise this is the last chance for the one with the rowing machine and stairmaster. Sad isn't it? | |

This thread should be entitled 2006 M3. That's when the new model is scheduled to come out! "To tide over buyers anxious for the V8-powered 400-hp M3 due in 2006...." http://www.autoweek.com/files/specials/2005_detroit/la_show/m3/pa- ges/1.htm Got the above quote from the 2005 AutoShow.
