You waited years for it kids, and here it almost is. It's not the new V8-powered BMW M3, it's the V8-powered BMW M3 Concept. That means it's just teasing the crap out of you, isn't it? BMW's own World Touring Car champ, Andy Priaulx drove it out from the wings, revving the M3 for the rafters. Shite. All that talk about BMW neutering its V8 was unfounded. To save weight, it's got a carbon fiber roof and aluminum hood, along with 19" light alloys. Yeah, we were surprised at the hots on this one. Expect the production model to appear later this year in Frankfurt. Now, make way for the Audi RS4 shootout.

take the 'Concept' part pretty lightly.

For all you BMW buffs:

Does the V8 in this one bear any resemblance to the V8 in the old M5? Because that was a CRACKING engine, would be surprised if it was all-new.

i understand it's more closely related to the new M5's V10

Same next gen technology as the BMW V10 S85 engine. cept its a 4.0 ltr v8 (so all us BMW nerds think anyways ) they have been _really_ hush about it.

One of their test mules (road test car) was playing around with one of the members of our club in the states although he just had an e46 328i it hauled so hard against.

So in short its a new engine. to piss on audi's parade .. no one knows the HP figures yet either .. but its over 400bhp.

I reckon this will only be as fast as the RS4 not faster. And wait for the new RS6 twin turbo V10. Now youre talking. BMW will be more fun to drive IMO cause of the RWD factor Car

Is that a normal manual in there? Hope it comes standard with that and no SMG as standard like the M5.
Thats one hot car. I want it now.
Rs4 engine mounted to high and too far towards the front so she understeers a bit (according to tiff, how the fuck would I know I ain't ever driven one) to be a true contender on the track, but in the real world the diff betwenn them will probably be small.

Oh yeah. Save the flared wheel arches for the CSL version I say. Now that thing would be hot.
