Have a listen, to the next M3.

Sounds nice.. But gone are the days when you would hear the sound of a M without even seeing it, and knew exactly which one it was. Especially the rasp of the E46 M.

 

[*ace*]

Agreed. Emissions etc hold us down now.
Whenever I see a M5/6 I realize those are probably the last big engined bm cars we will see?

Would love to buy and keep an M6. :inlove:

:yuck: I'm not really liking the sound, and i feel as its just short of revs which it probably is. Hopefully the end product will be much better.

Second that, the E46 and E90 sounds better.

Agree with Zama, the 3 M3's we got in SA, you could hear them before you would see them and u'd know exactly what it was . . .

Hope not a SIAL but here's the 1st Pics of the Engine Physically Exposed . . . .

The F80 M3 / F82 M4 will have some good cooling of the heated air pumping from its turbos, via components such as the air-to-water/liquid intercooler unit (to the right of the engine cover) feeding the cylinders with cooled air. If this setup is anything like in the M5/M6 S63Tu engine, the air is cooled by this unit right before it reaches the cylinders. There appears to be twin intake boxes and the oil cooler bracket looks to be the same as on the N54 and N55 engines.

The photos do not confirm the exact number of turbos, but the two charge pipes feeding the intercooler is a sign that it probably has at least two turbochargers. Whether a third electric turbo (rumored) lies somewhere out of sight remains to be seen.

Expect this engine to output in the ballpark of 450 horsepowers. It's been rumored to be an extensively reworked and reinforced N55 6-cylinder engine with a strengthened aluminium block with a heavily modified cylinder head. The Induction technology is said to be completely new as will be the latest bi-vanos variable valve timing. This engine may also be a reworked/enhanced version of the successor engine to the N55 (which has not yet been introduced).

The F80 M3 will no doubt be the stiffest M3 yet, and the brawny strut tower brace surely contributes to just how tightly the entire car will handle and feel.

Thanks, If it wasnt for Whacko I woulda never seen it! LoL :rollsmile:

The covering up of the logo would be primarily incase any spy pics to emerge, it is still in development remember.

Sadly the sound is not near as glorius and agressive as the M3's of afore, however the new turbo charged era must be emrbaced, and BMW seems to be doing ag reat job with these motors.
