BMW confirmed that in the new generation of BMW M3 will integrate turbo-engine. Ludwig Villas which is Chief of BMW
Motorsport
division (Ludwig Willisch) announced that the new M3, which we will see in 2013 will be powered by V-shaped
six-cylinder turbo unit.

The first BMW M3, which was introduced in the end of 80 years of last century, used a highly effective, four cylinder, atmospheric engine. The second and third generation of this motorsport legend are powered by six cylinder units, and the fourth generation is powered by V8 engine with a volume of 4.0 liters, which is based on V10 unit of M5 and M6.

In the upcoming BMW
M3, the German engineers will return to the six cylinder engines, but this time for the first time the engine will be V-shaped, equipped with tubro. Villas also announced that the engine will be based on the winning 3.0-liter Twin turbo engine. According to the information, the new turbo-engine will deliver power similar to that of the standard M3, but will offer better dynamics.

M Division chief Ludwig Willisch did not specify whether the engine will be fitted with one or two turbines, but explained that the body of the new M3 will be significantly better, which will provide management of the car close to a perfectly balanced model – E30 BMW M3.

Ludwig Villas also confirmed information that the new 1 Series will not get M-variant, but will offer a dynamic model, which will give a feeling of a M
BMW. It will be powered by four-cylinder turbo engine, supplying 300 horsepower. Light body and great power, which the company promised to variants of the Supersport Series-1, suggests even more serious reference to the cult M3 at the end of 80 years of last century.
