BMW This fall, the exciting news from BMW will come in the shape of the latest M car, the M3. The long-awaited M version of the new 3-Series is already on sale in Europe, and for the first time the U.S. version will sport the same power as its European sibling. This means the M3 will deliver around 330 horsepower. It is likely that the next M Coupe/Roadster will receive similar levels of power. The new 330i is also about power—it features a 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine that produces 225 horsepower, an increase of 35 horses over the previous 328 engine. Returning to the 3-Series line this fall is all-wheel drive, a feature last seen in the 325iX of 1988-91. The 330xi will go head to head with Audi's quattro-equipped A4 models. The Z3 will also benefit from the new engine, with the 2.8 being renamed the 3.0. In other news, the 5-Series and M5 will get a freshened look, featuring new headlamps and revised taillight lenses. The 7-Series also gets a slight facelift for 2001, and is in line for a complete redesign for the 2002 model year.
