Congrats on beating the current M3....

...but can you beat the next one?

The next-generation BMW M3 will lose its 4.0-liter V8 and will feature a twin-turbo inline-six.
The next M3 mill will have more torque, up from 295 pound-feet in the current generation to somewhere in the vicinity of 400 lb-ft.
...450 hp and 400 lb-ft sounds like the M3 for the 2014 model year.

So as Iacocca had 56 for 56...as in $56 for a 1956 Ford....

I say.. "450 4 50"....450HP FOR 50th Anniversary"

Also after reading Donald Farrs Boss Book...
A peak ahead to what's coming...


Pg 109...Computer Variable Damping for the suspension

Pg 113...Electronically Adjustable Sound Tube (IST) Adjust sound inside car from (1-11 Range)

Also a big maybe on Pg 102...Fingers crossed
'One concept incorporated satin paint. which Farley loved. "It would be for the owners who want to flip people off.", Farley comments.'

And funny how Project 747 came out ahead of calling it the Roadrunner...Meep Meep!

I would be shocked in the next M3 doesn't out perform the Boss. I'll also be shocked if the starting price is less than $65k and doesn't top $80k loaded out.

Going to have to agree with you there.

I guess I'll just have to continue to hone my driving skills so I can keep stomping those poseurs at the track.

No telling what the next Mustang will have though so it's kind of a moot point.
