i hope this is false - three sounds better than two to me. The thought of having one electric one could do wonders for throttle response, but it could also mean a host of new problems.

NEVER ... NEVER ... NEVER !!!
The chance is nearly sub zero that BMW allows the M-GmbH to develop an completly new engine ... also the innovative 3.3ltr.V6 TTT developed from the M5s 4.4ltr.S63 V8 and to my info prefered from the M Technicans was not chosen because its more costly than an development on the N55 basics.

"also scheduled to be used in a successor to the BMW 1-series M Coupé"? Shouldn't they be worried about people like us who would just buy the next 1M and tune it to M3 specs?

In Europe in early 2014? So in the US late 2014 as a 2015? I haven't even taken delivery of my 2011 yet. Guess this will give me plenty of time to get board of the car and go to the new one.

Why not 4 turbos? Better yet 6 turbos, one for each cylinder..
2 is enough IMO.

two is plenty, seems like M should try to do a decent sequential setup. Seems hard to size two parallel turbos, either you got lag low down with top end or no top end.

Same marketing philosophy keeps an S63 out of the M3/4 as well. They aren't going to give the M2 the same engine as the larger sibling. Bet on a (very advanced) I4 turbo. Even with that in mind, I am still more interested in that car than the next M3. |

BMW M is blurring the lines between future 1M and M3's. If I had to replace my M3 in 3 years, I'm not sure I would get another M3 given the cars increasing proportions. The E92 is about as big as I would ever go.

i hope they don't boxsterize the M2 like how the boxster is always neutered so as not to step on the toes of the 911

I think the M2 will have to be boxsterized. I don't think BMW wants anything in BMW's stable too close the M3 in terms of performance. The current 1M is close enough. I think they will give the M2 the inline TT 4 with less weight than the I6 235i to make the performance better than the 235i but no too close to the M3. - J
