They don't know anything about the car just yet. 
Here is some info that I found...
"The new M3 will definitely use the new V8 4.0 litre unit based on the new M5 V10. It will develop 406 Bhp & cost around £45,000 ($53,000) at today's prices. BMW are also planning a four-door saloon version & Touring model. The newly developed V8 with 48 valves will have an alloy block, each bank of four cylinders will be at a 90 degree angle, electronically actuated throttle valves for each cylinder, third-generation double-Vanos variable valve timing & the latest MS S65 engine management system. With 309ib ft of torque an increase of 40 Ib ft on today's M3, with light-weight aluminum pistions the new engine is said to retain the M3's character, it should be cable of revving to 8250 Rpm. Placed further back in the engine bay as the V8 is shorter than the straight six cylinder engine, giving the car a better centre of gravity & balance for better handling. Standard six-speed manual or seven-speed SMG with drivelogic function & launch control. Also planned is a light-weight version CSL complete with carbon-fibre panels & even more power. Sales are predicted to start mid-2007" (www.bmw2002.co.uk).

If you're interested in getting one, you should put a deposit on it now. It's $1k and it's refundable if you change your mind. I'm suggesting this because when they come out, you won't be able to get one without paying atleast $10k over the MSRP, for the first year or so.

That is so much cheaper than I expected. I was seriously thinking something closer to 60-70k (USD). Great news.
