The new m3 engine will not be a 3.0T like the current n55. More than likely they will bore it out. 3.2, 3.5 possibly?

Absolutely no way. The new gen base 3er is very close to the same size as the existing car. Along with some weight savings due to the engine the car could very well be lighter than the existing one.

With the new tech that this car will carry, I'm sure this car will be porkier then it already is. The next gen 3 is going to grow and that will cause the M3 to grow. BMW can't go overboard with CF because it's expensive and BMW can't bump the price too much because this is suppose to be an affordable sports sedan/coupe.

Can the "S55" have redline at 8.000 RPM ?
In fact why can't the N55 based engine have redline at 8.000 RPM? Because of its long stoke?
S54: I6 3246 cc 91,0 mm stroke / 87,0 mm bore 343 PS @ 7900 RPM 365 Nm @ 4900 RPM Redline @ 8.000 RPM N55: I6 2979 cc 89,6 mm stroke / 84,0 mm bore 320 PS @ 5800-6000 RPM 450 Nm @ 1300-4500 RPM Redline @ 7.000 RPM N63: V8 90° 4395 cc 88,3 mm stroke / 89,0 mm bore 407 PS @ 5500-6400 RPM 600 Nm @ 1750-4500 RPM Redline @ 7.000 RPM S65: V8 90° 3999 cc 75,2 mm stroke / 92,0 mm bore 420 PS @ 8.300 RPM 400 Nm @ 3900 RPM Redline @ 8.400 RPM |

I don't think they want to. Having to rev an engine to hell doesn't meet the "Efficient" part of "Efficient Dynamics". |

Take your argument one step further to the real detail that matters - piston speed . Actually I thing that spec has been posted for most of these engines.
