BMW F30 M3 / F32 M3 Testing With Tri-Turbo I6 Engine Spied for First Time!
Exciting moment folks! We bring you the very first spyshots of the next generation M3. These photos show an F30 3-series sedan with several trademark M3 features such as quad-exhaust, flared fenders and drilled brake discs.
The next M3 will be powered by a triple-turbocharged inline-6 engine with an output of around 450hp. It will be based on the N54/55 engine but use not only two traditonal turbochargers but also a third electric turbocharger.
As Scott26 stresses, these photos are no indication of an M3 sedan making it to production. Rather, BMW had only an F30 prototype to use for testing the M3 parts and components. We're however not so sure about this as it has been alluded to us that an M3 sedan might still be an option -- despite the rather slow sales of the E90 M3 sedan.
Expect the new M3 to hit the market sometime in 2014. As we reported earlier, the E90 M3 sedan will end production this October while the E92/3 M3 coupe and convertible will be produced through June 2012 at least.
