2014 BMW M3 / M4 to Gain About 100lb-ft More Torque While Targeting E46 M3 Weight

We spoke very recently at length to a trusty source within BMW who is familiar with the development of the upcoming F80 M3 sedan / F82 M4 coupe and we were able to confirm the following bits of news:

HORSEPOWER / TORQUE

Regarding power output, the previously estimated 450HP figure is an overestimate. Instead, expect the horsepower output to be in ballpark of the current E90/E92 M3.

What will be increased greatly however, is the torque figure. The F80/F82's multi turbo inline 6 cylinder engine [recently exposed] will add approximately 100 lb-ft more torque over the current M3 (which outputs 295 lb-ft torque). This would put the new M3/M4 in the range of 395 lb-ft torque. There's nothing like forced induction for thrust!

WEIGHT

We were also glad to learn that all this extra torque will not go to waste. We've been reporting that the F80 M3 / F82 M4 will be lighter than the current M3, but how much lighter is what we all want to know. The great news is that the M engineers have targeted the E46 M3 weight in developing the F80/F82.

The E46 M3's curb weight is 3,415 lb, while the current E90 M3 and E92 M3 weigh 3,726 and 3,704 pounds, respectively. This would represent an approximate 300 pound weight reduction; great news for BMW enthusiasts who bemoan the increasing weight of cars in general. The caveat to keep in mind however, is that curb weight is calculated based on the total weight of a vehicle with standard equipment, and with the ever growing list of standard equipment and technology in late model cars, don't be surprised or disappointed if you don't see exactly 300 pounds shaved. What's important is that the E46 M3 weight is being used as a target, which in any scenario, should result in significant weight reduction for the new M3 and M4.

MORE RADICAL M3

This should come as no surprise for those who have been following our F80 M3 spy photos/videos. The F80 M3 sedan will feature a more drastic and aggressive look and styling from the F30 3 Series than the current E90 M3 does from the E90 3 Series. Our source said to think about how the 1M coupe looks compared to the 1 Series, and we believe it. The spy photos already show huge flared fenders, very aggressive front bumper styling, and a raised hood 'bump.' Check out how it may look in some of our preview renders.

TIMING

As for the market release timing - our source again reconfirmed the same schedule we have been reporting. The F80 M3 sedan will be introduced first and will not hit the market until early 2014. Expect the F82 M4 coupe in late 2014 - early 2015. We (just our own guess) think that it may receive a global launch just like the F30 3 Series, where the M3 will hit all markets worldwide simultaneously.

SUMMARY

To recap, here is an updated list of what we know about the F80/F82 so far:

• 
  

• Lighter than current M3
  

• targeting E46 M3 weight
  

• More powerful than current M3
  

• approximately same HP, but around 100 lb-ft more torque (in range of 395 lb-ft)
  

• Faster than current M3
  

• More efficient than current M3
  

• Powered by an inline 6 cylinder multi turbo engine (source, source)
  

• Offered with optional or standard manual transmission
  

• Electric Power Steering (completely reworked for precision for M3/M4)
  

• Tires (from prototype) - Michelin Pilot Super Sport: 255/35/19 (front), 275/35/19 (rear)
  

• Front styling to feature elements from the M6 and 1M coupe, with Air Curtain technology (our render)
  

• Hood to feature power/vent bump
  

• M3 Introduced late 2013 - early 2014 (concept debuts earlier)
  

• M4 Introduced no earlier than late 2014

Fan van de sound

[Wouterr 778]

Ik ook wel, maar zou het graag eens in het echt horen.

[Greg 2.942]

Sluit je ogen, en denk aan een boxermotor

[stradge 421]

Dik geluid, echt! Alleen spijtig dat er aan de motor zelf niet veel te horen is, zoals bij alle vorige M3's. Kijk er naar uit, hopelijk kun je hem nog manueel krijgen ook!

[Stancke 3.992]

Kan je daar een trekhaak op krijgen?

[toere 14.593]

Zo knap he

Maar toch liever de Coupe , wanneer komt die er?

[Wouter 210]

Zo knap he

Maar toch liever de Coupe , wanneer komt die er?

Is photoshop hé Maar zal wel enorm dicht bij de realiteit liggen.

2014

[toere 14.593]

2014

In 2016 dus royaal te vinden op de 2de-handsmarkt = ideaal

[Andy 153]

In 2016 dus royaal te vinden op de 2de-handsmarkt = ideaal

Is de 335i bijna 10 jaar en misschien mooi om te vervangen met deze kar .

Super met 4 deuren

[Speedhunter 4.213]

Spyfoto's zien er al goed uit. Over het uiterlijk twijfel ik niet dat dit een dikke bak zal worden nu is het wachten op de technische specificaties om te zien wat ze nu juist van plan zijn met de motor.

[Jenkins 1.993]

Bijzonder knap. Die velgen jongens

[BMWMB 9.786]

Aangezien de 3 coupé een 4 reeks zal worden, wordt de M versie hiervan dus de (F82) M4.

415hp S55 Powered F80 M3 / F82 M4 Revealed via BMW VIN?!

A resourceful F30POST member of ours went BMW VIN diving and may have uncovered many details for the upcoming BMW M3 Sedan (F80) and M4 Coupe (F82)!

 

While obviously no production F80 M3 or F82 M4 have rolled off the line yet, manufacturers like BMW register VINs for their pre-production test cars, so finding the details behind such VINs can reveal much about the upcoming production models (although keep in mind that everything is subject to change by the time the model hits production).

 

So, what does the BMW M4 coupe's VIN reveal?  

 

The highlight is the 310kW (415 hp) S55 3.0L inline 6 engine listed.  Consistent with the information ]we've been posting, this would have the next M3 and M4 featuring similar horsepower figures to the current M3 (414 hp) from the 3.0L inline 6 multi-turbo S55 engine.  But, we've also been previously told by a trusty source familiar with F80/F82 development that the cars will boast approximately 100 lb-ft more torque (in range of 395 lb-ft) 

 

The same source also told us that engineers were targeting E46 M3 weight.  The E46 M3's curb weight is 3,415 lb, while the current E90 M3 and E92 M3 weigh 3,726 and 3,704 pounds, respectively. This would represent an approximate 300 pound weight reduction; great news for BMW enthusiasts who bemoan the increasing weight of cars in general. The caveat to keep in mind however, is that curb weight is calculated based on the total weight of a vehicle with standard equipment, and with the ever growing list of standard equipment and technology in late model cars, don't be surprised or disappointed if you don't see exactly 300 pounds shaved. What's important is that the E46 M3 weight is being used as a target, which in any scenario, should result in significant weight reduction for the new M3 and M4.

 

The rest of the VIN information reveals many of the features and options to be available for the F80 M3 and F82 M4.  See the full VIN info below.

 

The F80 M3 will be introduced late 2013 - early 2014 (concept to debut earlier).  M3 European Delivery will begin June 2014, at earliest, and the F82 M4 Coupe will be introduced no earlier than late 2014.

Een opgevoerde N55 dus.. ik ben benieuwd!

[kwiekie 2.506]

Gaat dat weer zo'n motor zijn die aan 6000 toeren het beste van zichzelf heeft gegeven?

[Thebiemerke 4.959]

De M135i gaat al tot 7000 tr/min dus peins het niet

[kwiekie 2.506]

De M135i gaat al tot 7000 tr/min dus peins het niet

 

Ah, okéé. Maar was dat dan bij de 1 ///M dat ze zeiden dat het zelfs geen zin heeft om tot 6500 door te trekken?

[William Blake 2.668]

Je kan perfect doortrekken tot 7000 rpm, je voelt wel een beetje dat hij boven de 6000 rpm geen kracht bijmaakt maar het stoort niet.

Denk ook wel dat je iets sneller bent als je op 6500 opschakelt. Vanaf 3de-4de doet ik dat met de 335i, anders blijft die mss wat te lang hangen.
