A tweaked M3?  This excites me. 

[size=3]The propeller brand is going to release a US-only E92.[/size] [size=3][/size] [size=3]From the looks of things, there's definitely a dual-clutch cog box at play, though it's unclear if that will be the only option.[/size] [size=3][/size] [size=3]Now the only question is whether the company [b]will tweak the V8 found in the M3[/b] or whether it will leave it alone and instead make other upgrades, and there's also the question of which bodystyle(s) the car will be available with, as the M3 is currently available in coupe, sedan, and convertible form.[/size] [size=3][/size] [size=3][/size] [size=3][/size] [size=3][b]Personally, I hope they tweak the engine to crank out more TORQUE, though that could be challenging for a rev happy NA.[/b][/size] [size=3][b][/b][/size] [size=3][b]Who knows, maybe they should make it "444 horsepower", hahaha![/b][/size] [size=3][/size] [size=3][/size] [img]http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/06/bmw-tease-2-1280.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/06/bmw-tease-1-1280.jpg[/img]

i cant get pass the automatic part of the equation..but whateva (one of the major turn offs for the R35 is just that...) but if you look at the geomtry of the V8 in BMW VS the 6.3 (6.2L) V8 from AMG you will realize that how much smaller the piston diameter is..and how short the stroke is comparetively.... it all goes back down to unsprung mass, you have to sacrafice smth for smth else, i personally think that rev happy = faster than bigger torque examples? All the engines in F1? why are they all low compacity with 18,000rpm shift points (and that is after they bumped it down, it use to be 20,000rpm redlines) i mean torque is good, and torque starting at 2000 rpm is better... but if you are realli driving/pushing the car, you are not gonna select the gear at your speed that will drop the rpm down to 2000 anyways, when WOT, a F430 shifts from 8500rpm to 6000rpm and to 8500rpm again, and yes it will always be at peak torque we always sacrafice torque for HP, and this is why i think its more wise to have the peak torque at higher rpms anyways, because you are sacrificing torque for more top end HP, but since your shift point (doesnt matter if its upshift/downshift) is always going to be at peak torque anyways, in ferrari's F430's case, peak torque is 343/5250rpm, you should never see a F430 being lower than 5250rpm at any given moment while being driven, and its meant to be driven that way, you sacrafice for the lack of torque b4 the 5250rpm for maxium hp in the actual powerband, thus giving you more performance in the end now back down to M3's V8, same logic, diff car... i always thought of the same thing, as in torque is GOD, but have been recently reading alot abt it..and lookin thru alot of engine spec sheets and diagrams (now however i think Forced Induction is the bomb Hahaha,, yes BNR34, you have not let me down!)
