Not liking it very much
I don't like the look from the front very much and the back does not seem very aggressive IMO. I'm keeping my E46 M3 for a long time. The E90 will probably have a great V8 motor.

Anyone know what the displacement is going to be of the engine in the new M3? A version of the existing 4.8? I'd be very pleasantly surprised to see the engine that was used in the last M3 GTR (and don't see why they wouldn't). Flat-plane crankshaft...mmm.

I like the next generation M3 better and better.

The plot thickens.... The front has a bit of E60 M5 and the rear has some updated E65.
Who thinks Jimmy or one of his richie rich homies was taking those pics from a Fly Yellow Ferrari 360?

[quote=LeMansX5]Here you go on the details
btw, in refrence to my previous post flat-plane crank layout is what ferrari uses for all it's V8s. It's bascially like having two 4cyl engines on one crank. Hence, looking at each bank separetely cyls 1 and 4 will always have the same position just like a normal 4 cyl. Cross-plane (98% of all v8s out there) design isn't symetrical in the same way as a flatplane design so there is end-end vibration. Large counter-weights are used to tackle this, but make the engine far less responsive. The disadvantage with flatplane is that you have the inherent second-order vibration of four-cyl engines and thus need balance-shafts which take up space and are more expensive. So, if you ever why a Ferrari sounds so damn good, it isn't the exhaust (well, it's part of it), it's because firing orderis VERY different from other vehicles, including BMW. The M3 GTR V8 is flat-plane, and I would def like to see it make it's way to the next M3. It put out 444hp. Race technology usually trickles down, so let's hope for the best...at least a detuned version. Last edited by vinuneuro; 07-11-2006 at 10:10 PM.
