: They can't afford now "not" to come out with the new M3 this fall. But I don't think they are really satisfied with the engine. I believe they'll be forced to come out with the '01 M3 on schedule and then make some rather major changes and tweaks in '02 model.

: I think we'll see a somewhat major engine change in '02 and BMW will "cut-in" needed changes to correct faults in the '01 model. They will also have some needed time to combat their competition.

Do you really think BMW will 'force-release' an M3 with an engine they are so discontent with that they will replace it the very next model year? Imagine the flame from all first-model buyers when only one year later a newer/faster model comes (for the same price)... Myself I have placed a pre-order for a May '01 delivery (in Sweden), but guess if I'll cancel that if I learn there is something better just around the corner. I wouldn't hold out for the V8, but a bigger inline six would be worth the extra wait.
