: : I really enjoyed all the many posts there used to be here on the E46 M3 message board. Lots of interesting news and/or rumors about the new M3 that everyone is looking forward to seeing and driving. When things get slow down on the E36 M3 message board I always make it a point to keep up-to-date by reading the latest messages here. What has happened lately? There has only been nine original postings all day today! Has everyone died?

: : I hope everyone is not so frustrated by the latest rumors concerning the new M3's engine that you have given up hope or called it quits!

A 3.4liter was originally proposed, i.e., widely accepted as what would be the production engine. Then, because of engine cooling problems, a 3.25 liter was rumored (rounded up to 3.3 liter). The horsepower appears about the same, around 330-340. We don't know the torque for either motor. Others who post here are much more knowledgeable about mechanics than I, including the supposed ramifications of 3.4 vs 3.25/3.3.
