Well, I'm not sure that a turbo V8 will be less costly to develop than a turbo V6 though. After all, the V6 will require a new engine altogether. BMW already has V8s.

Plus I doubt BMW would EVER put the same engine architecture on the M3 than M5/M6s, even if smaller and less powerful.

Probably not, unfortunately. However, speaking of costs, sharing the same basic engine between multiple cars is a good way to cut down on them.
