Next gen M3 will be back to an inline 6cyl engine and the M4

Good news! No V6 yet!

The engine is expected to be mated to a dual-clutch transmission, but we won’t be surprised if a manual box will be offered for the U.S. customers.

How times change! :wink:

Bing - apparently BMW are considering re-badging the 3-series coupe as 4-series. No more than that. I don't think they have definitely decided yet though.

Why?? Just because Audi have the A4/A5 I don't see why BMW need to spin off with a 4-series?
