[QUOTE="MeraBoy, post: 2339112, member: 48452"] http://www.imagebanana.com/img/32u7kcrc/BMWnewM3dr_1.jpg The E92 model is the fourth generation of the M3. When it goes on sale in the UK in early September, the M3 will cost £50,625 and will, at first, be available only as a two-door coupe. http://www.imagebanana.com/img/1law2rio/BMWnewM3dr_2.jpg The last car’s 3.2-litre six-cylinder wouldn’t meet forthcoming emissions regulations and rivals – including Audi with the RS4 and Mercedes with the C63 AMG – upped the game with V8s, leaving Munich with little option but to match them. http://www.imagebanana.com/img/ruh3uevj/BMWnewM3dr_3.jpg The quest for a high-revving engine has left a hole in the torque low down, so you need to stir that six-speed manual (the only option for now, though SMG will follow) to really get moving. The ’box is carried over from the E46 and obviously shares its characteristics: direct but a little arthritic. http://www.imagebanana.com/img/mt6tfbb/BMWnewM3dr_4.jpg The new car's 3999cc V8 produces 414bhp @ 8300rpm,, 295lb ft @ 3900rpm, but the basic ingredients remain the same: rear-wheel drive, a limited slip differential. The new larger engine is 15kg lighter than the six-pot in the E46. http://www.imagebanana.com/img/94gzq2tb/BMWnewM3dr_5.jpg Less focused handling does improve the ride quality significantly with the M3 soaking up bumps much better than its predecessor ever did.
