: and we've been wondering if there was any truth to the rumor. Has this magazine been a reliable source of info over the years? Can an English translation be accessed? URL? I am trying to keep an open mind. 350hp now?!! Who knows, maybe BMW found out they could get ENHANCED proficiency from the 3.3 liter vs 3.4 liter. Once we get to Geneva maybe BMW's thinking behind the decision will be made public. That will be important to me. Also, if the 3.3 liter car runs consistent 4.9's, that might make things very interesting.


I think the magazine has been fairly reliable over the years. Interstingly, in the same issue Auto Motor Sport says that Mercedes will introduce a c-class AMG car with a 3.2l engine outputting 400 hp. I guess if that is true we will see that car in a couple of years. If that happens I furthermore think we will se a V8 in the M3. Since BMW will not use a supercharger they will have to put a V8 in their M3 to keep the competition behind.
