Also the new M3 will be 'THE' premium M car and have a 0-100 kph time of 4.5 secs.


Come on folks, get over the pure speculation/fantasy. The new M will not have a flat plane crank - that would be a whole new engine and most agree the new engine is at least partly based on M5. It will almost surely not have a 9k redline. And if I was a betting fellow I'd place a huge wager hat it will not have neither a "ZSG M" nor 8 fwd gears. Last but not least it may be the sportiest M but never the "premium". That is the 5/6.

Any sources of any any of this SPECULATION!

I do buy the 4.5 time however
