According to UK publication Autocar the next-gen BMW M3 will feature a 3.0 litre six cylinder engine with twin-turbochargers. It had previously been expected the new M3 motor would have an innovative tri-turbo setup.
The report says the M3’s new engine will be a new unit that is significantly different from the current N54 and N55 twin-turbo engines, incorporating new internals, intake system and ECU.
Peak power for the F32M is still expected to be around 450hp. The new engine, in a lesser state of tune, will also be used in the replacement for the 1 Series M Coupé (expected to wear an M2 badge).
