BMW M3 5th generation will use a tri-turbo in-line 6 engine again.
This is one of the few sure things about the development of this mysterious car, which will be launched at first as a saloon car and will be joined at a later time by a coupe/convertible version called M4.
The latest spy shots reveal new air intakes on the front, a newly designed front bumper, bigger brakes and alloy wheels as well as modified quad exhaust pipes.
The six cylinder engine will have 3.
3 liters capacity and about 450hp output, and will make use of two classic turbos and a third one that will be powered by electricity.
Rumor has it that the bodywork will feature a mix of ultra high-strength steel and carbon fiber, a solution that will allow the new M3 F80 to keep down both weight and fuel consumption.
