BMW: a turbocharged V6 for the next M3?

The engine of the new BMW M3 will have six cylinders. You return to the old, the second and third generation, when precisely 6L units were used by 3.0 and 3.2 liters. Established the architecture - even if doubts remain - remain to be given displacement and supercharging. In that regard, a forum user M3post reported the range of four units that the Bavarian engineers are preparing to browse.

The least feasible option - if only because it disagrees with what has been written so far - is to use the current V8 4.0 (S65) with twin turbocharger, for even the next X3 and Z4 M M. This eight-cylinder will have more hp and Nm compared to the naturally aspirated form, obtained by sacrificing the sharp delivery and the propensity to turn "up".
