So in BMW's world it takes 420 and 450 HP to have respectable acceleration.

With the 335 at 300, you'd expect the M to be in the 400 range at its probable weight. |

2900 lbs 1'er with a 400 hp I6 sounds great - while I'm dreaming, can you make it w/fully forged internals, a small turbo with a standard Garrett flange and a 9K redline?

Going back to a 6-cylinder is great... but lets hope it's NOT a V and they continue on with their legendary Inline layout.

Hopefully the reduced cylinder count will mean a reduction in price. I love the new M3 but is too $$$$
