Video: Is this BMW M3 prototype powered by an inline or V6?
It started with a four-cylinder, graduated to six and then eight cylinders, and now might be settling back down to six. The next-generation F80 , caught testing around the homeland, has let its voice be heard, and the suspicions are that a V6, not a BMW-traditional inline six, rumbles through those pipes.
Bimmerfile posits that a V6 could be “loosely based on the ′s S63 twin-turbo V8, but with even greater high-end power and efficiency.” Whatever is under that hood – and whatever is handling that lightning-quick gear change, don’t quite sound like anything that’s come straight from the factory before, at least to our ears. to watch and listen for yourself and make a guess in Comments.
