bmw released the newest type of their most popular car, m3 edition.The fourth-generation M3 Coupe isn't due to land on our shores until early 2008, but you can bet BMW enthusiasts will be lining up for the first-ever version to be powered by an eight-cylinder engine. When rumours of eight-cylinder power for the M3 began circulating, we weren't surprised.
The new M3 powerplant is based on the massive V10 used in the M5 and M6 and also boasts 295 lb.-ft. of torque, most of which is available from a usefully low 3,500 r.p.m. up to 7,000 revs, and it's all topped off with a lofty 8,400 r.p.m. redline. Altogether, it's a serious power boost over the inline six that powered the last-generation M3, which disappeared after 2006. That 333-hp car was relegated to the back benches in the horsepower wars by the 300-horse twin-turbo six-cylinder that debuted in the new-for-2007 3-series.
