I am reading BMWCar magazine they have an article on the new 7 Series the 740i has 326HP 6 cyl Twin Turbo and the 750i has a 407HP V8 Twin Turbo. Wait till DINAN get a hold of those engines, I would amagine the M3 will get the V8 Turbo WOW, but with the new engine I wonder if BMW will have a new ECU with no piggy backs?

Agree and I predicted the same several months back when I 1st heard of this new V8 TT - ie: BMW will put it in a future M3...

I think this would make lots of sense as the current M3 good as it is - is getting left behind by many rivals and its own siblings, ala 135i :wink: a V8 TT starting at least with 300+kw and at least 550nm would be an excellent adoption for the M3, those power levels ballooning by at least 20-25% after some basic tuning - that sounds more like it for an M3, compared to its current state...

Regardless of ecu type and tune, there will always be a way around them and with hi-po cars it's always just a matter of time for tuning options to become available :smile:

Cant wait to see the new Alpina B7 and how many horses it'll pack, and of course itll look hot with the kit and wheels on.

From what i understand... every M car will be turbo starting with the next gen M3

It sounds like they added 26 hp to the N54 rating and stuffed it in there. Makes sense to me. Nate
