Default it should be fun

to see how well the M3 holds the 4.0l v8 around the track I wonder how heavy she'll be the new 335 is just shy of 3600lbs it should be fun??

Default more aluminum will be used.

"They" say around 3,500 lbs.
we'll just have to wait and see.

I'm betting it's going to put down M5 numbers.
75hp less, but 500lbs lighter......

It'll be fun to see them head to head, to say the least.

Default We'll see but remember....

the M3 gets bigger brakes and wheels just like the RS4 also isn't the 3.0l tt engine has a aluminum block? we'll see how nose heavy she'll be, BMW is going into new territory with a v8 in there M3 Audi has a couple years on them there. Really if BMW wanted to answer back to the RS4 they would of kept the 3.0l tt lower the compression raised the psi and watch how many M3's go into the ditch. that would be a monster
