440 Nm is even more impressing.

 

[klier]

if 4.0 liters V8 and 440hp is true. How many hp/liters ar we talking about?

An AMAZING 110 hp per liter!!!

That's what I was just thinking... is anybody working right now?

LOL, no. Standstill here. I am with two eyes on the net work can wait

110 hp/l but like i said 110 nm/l is more impressing.

if 4.0 liters V8 and 440hp is true. How many hp/liters ar we talking about?

A hell of a lot... 440/4 = 110 hp/liters. That's why I was saying if that is true, then it's going to exceed my expectations

Edit: Woops, I'm 1 minute late on the response, hahaha.

1. Not really.

2. I doubt it will be this close to the M5, unless the M5 won't get some extra ponies.

 

[warot]

so the old M3 E46 develop what?

Just divide horsepower by the capacity. So I'm going to go with 333/3.2 = 104.1 hp/l.

This would be a huge jump by the V8 if the figures are true

 

[klier]

so the old M3 E46 develop what?

343:3.2 would be around 107 hp per liter

 

[Zafiro]

BMW feel they need to top the M3 E46 and so they have done if it turns out to be true.

I have a feeling this is the CSL version. If you compare the E46M3 CSl with the E39 M5, it had about the game gap. 360 vs 400... now it would be 440 vs 507

Who can spot it? Livecam of Palexpo Hall 6, where BMW is:

[PanterroR]

107,1875 bhp/L...

So this is it? An hour to go???

Gonna buy a nice six pack right now, sit back, relax and enjoy...

The CSL was even more powerfull. Besides Honda squiezzed more with the S2000. And BMW is in F1, and the engine is F1 inspired, and an F1 engine outputs between 300 and 333 of good ol NA HP per litre.

 

[klier]

And the E46 M3 CSL = 360/3.2 = 112.5 hp/ltr

If I had to guess, it would be in the back of the livecam. In the pictures, there was a BMW F1 car on the wall.

M3 E46 has about 60hp less than M5 E39. So 507hp for M5 E60 minus 60hp = about 440hp for M3 E92. I can see this happening...

if its true for the standard M3 I expect the M3 CSL to have 460hp.

But the E46 engine develop 112nm/L wich is the record for an atmospheric civil engine.

If that's the case I agree. Forgot about the CSL.

Porsche and Ferrari should be afraid, very afraid. evil laughter Mwha ha

You're very right on this my friend. 440 sound very plausible in the current M lineup!

It would be better hp/l than the legendary 3.2 I6, be faster than the competition, and far enough off the M5/6
