Since I am straving for some REAL information and this seems as good as I have seen I am posting it.
- 414 hp
- 295 ft lb torque
- 8000 rpm redline
- Displacement 3.999 l (4 l)
- 92.0mm bore and a 75.2mm stroke (identical to E60 M5)
- 1.6" wider at the front fenders than 335i
- Perfect 50-50 weight balance
- Extra sheet steel reinforcements in body floor for rigidity
- Vent on rear bumper is outlet of a venturi used to cool rear differential
- Full chassi "undertray" for better aerodynamics
- BMW is close to finalizing production plans for dual clutch tranny (ZSG) so maybe no SMG

How close is close for that ZSG & will it have any bugs is the problem...I really hope this all close to right but maybe a little off on HP in that we might actually get more
I hope, but I'll be happy if nothing changes from this list...
