BMW F80 M3 winter testing

New details are starting to emerge or rather “leak out” about the 2014 BMW M3 as British car magazine Auto Express recently sat down for an interview with Dr Friedrich Nitschke, managing director of M GmbH. Dr. Nitschke was of course a bit reluctant to discuss specifics, he did note the next-generation M3 would have a “bigger focus on very low fuel consumption.”

That’s a tad vague, but the magazine says the car will feature a tri-turbocharged 3.3-litre six-cylinder engine with approximately 450 hp. Additionally, we can expect aggressive styling and a lightweight body that adopts carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) components.
