M3/M4 [Spy Shots] 2014 BMW M3 (Impressions, SpyPhotos, Renderings)

[-=Hot|Ice=-]

M4 Coupe after my M3. Probably try and pick up an LCI if they price it right. I hear Mercedes-Benz is on track on for the SLC to be released sometime in 2015, which could be priced right around the M4 coupe.

Am I right in saying that the concept version of this'll debut at Frankfurt 2013?

 

[SKY]

I would say Geneva 2013 for the M3, Geneva 2014 for the M4.

 

[Hofmeister]

^ And the production version at Frankfurt...?

Those wheels! Same ones on the M6 Gran Coupe. If they put those on the F80, I will sell my soul for them and put them on my e92 M3.

According to photograph redline @ 7K. He did not look under the engine to see if its an I6 or a V6, but from the redline, it is an I6.

I think it sounds very nice. Now that sounds better than RS or AMG.

And I was under the impression that was setteled a long time ago!?

Oooh! So by way of the redline this is now all of sudden an I6. The redline. The. Red. Line.

Golly, the scientific insight blows my mind.

 

[Sunny]

^Yea who needs a clear pic of the engine bay when you can go by the red line...

 

[klier]

[mini_cooper4]

I don't under why they call it a mule, when it obviously isn't one and is the production model testing in prototype form. Stuff like that just confuses others.

Holy Body Roll Batman...

Don't know about which car you are talking, but the F80 doesn't have lots of body roll.

V6 (forced induction) Redlines:
Audi 3.0T = 7000rpm
Nissan GTR = 7000rpm
2014 F1 engines = 15000rpm (not a production car and certainly not cheap but shows what is possible).

I am pretty sure that the talented BMW M division engineers could reach (and exceed) a 7000rpm redline on a V6 if they wanted to.
