This is sad news for the 4.0 owners if and when it happens, but makes complete sense BMW would offer the 4.4 to those who would be enticed by a final finale of the naturally aspirated M experience as opposed to a newer/more powerful model such as the RS5 that many such as myself are eagerly awaiting.

I too believe this is going to happen sooner then later. It would definitely hold off any buyers on the edge of deciding between the new upcoming RS5 or a 4.4L M3.
