Why don't you see a V8 going into the M3? It's supposed to weigh the same as the inline 6 and produce more power...

Are you for real? The reason why Acura, Audi and Volvo come out with AWD drive trains is because their RWD delivery and control systems can't even come close to BMW RWD technology... On the track stock M cars destroy the AWD competition.

Hey All,
Check out this site ( http://www.germancarfans.com/manufacturers/bmw/ )
for answers to a lot of the questions I've read in this forum. There's also http://www.autobild.de has a lot of stuff as well, but it helps to read German. They are making an M3 coupe AND sedan like they did back before '99.
 
I myself am waiting for the new 330Ci, but LOVE the renditions of the possible '07 M3...I hope the standard coupe is close. This site has a lot of info that relates to Bimmers worldwide, but it might give us a good idea of what's going on. I have some GREAT pics of possible M3 configurations, but I'm not sure how to post them in this site...tips kyfdx?

I rode in my buddies 05 M3 with the competition package and SMG. Very sweet, but I'm not sure I can see paying the $63k that he paid for it.
And again with the newer models, it's hard for me to justify north of $50k on a car.
 
Oh, and I retract my statement about the V8 not going into the new model M3. I've done more reading on it and have seen the stats and specs on hp/weight.

Is the new V8 engine going to be heavy is it going to have enough power to move itself?

The new V8 should weigh the same or LESS than the current M3's heavy inline-six. For an example, the 4.0 V8 in the last-gen E39 M5 weighs many pounds less than the 3.2 I6 in the E46 M3 (for that matter, the current-gen M5's 5.0 V10 weighs less than the 3.2 I6.
 
I love the BMW I6's, but those long engines tend to weigh a LOT.

The new V8 will weigh less than the current M3's engine because the V8 will have an aluminum block and the 3.2 liter I-6 has an iron block. The next M3 will likely gain weight overall though just as every version of it has.
