Liter/type/valves 3.2/inline 6/24

Displacement 3246 cu cm

Bore/stroke 3.43/3.58 inch

Nominal output/rpm 333/7900 hp

Max. torque/rpm 262/4900 lb-ft

-Lifted from BMW North America-

Those are the spec.s for the current model M3, the E90 will be at least as powerful. To me at least that doesn't say ricer in any way.

Its actually going to have a new V8 with ~ 400 HP

Nice :thumbsup:

<----To lazy to find specifications in press releases
 
Big THUMBSDOWN. It's got one of those "Shogun Ricer Multi Laser Roadracer Drifting Cool Guy" body kits. :| Completely RUINS the M3's lines. Looks like rice; ergo, looks like CRAP.

No, I can't afford it, but that's not what my post is about. If I COULD afford it, I'd buy a STOCK M5, thank you very much.
 
Bleh. Way to busy. Also, they kept too much of the current cars lines, molesting some and then leaving others alone (only to make them look out of place).

Dunno if that's actually what it's gonna look like, though..

😕

I'll agree that I'd like it better without the wheel well flaring coupled with the apparently huge slope from rear to front...and the ground effects would look nicer if they weren't so aftermarket-ish...but I'll be damned if I EVER turn down an M3.

Performance-wise (so far) and appearance-wise (so far).

The driving sensation is not that great, you feel really disconnected from the road.
