W.O.W!!!

Yes the rumour (sp?) is that the E90 M3 will get a high reving V8. Basiclly the same engine as the M5/M6 with 2 cylinders less. Around 400bhp.

Here's another ps.

The 335 will have 306bhp / 400 Nm and will do 0-62mph in 5.5 sec.

So with 27bhp less and 35nm more (compared to the NA spec M3) it definately is almost as fast as the M. In a straight line that is....
