So it was just in the news that the new M3 will be lighter (40kg/ 88lbs) and more powerful than the current one... if it has a 4wd option as rumored then this might just be my next car...

I don't think this M3 will be getting AWD, I think that was debunked by other leaked information. The new leaks/rumors are stating that it will gain RWS (Rear-Wheel Steering) and possibly water injection similar to the M4 GTS

From the various spyshots it seems as though the 3er will forgo the Air Breather vents behind the front wheels? Very surprising given BMW has been installing these on the entire lineup except the small models and has been stressing the aero benefit that it brings.

was the same way on the F30. The 4 series has them 3 series doesnt. For me that kind of sealed the deal when I had an F30 instead of buying an F32. They are so ugly. |

I'm itching to learn about the m340i g20. October can't come soon enough aside from me getting married in October. I just hope the m340i is available in RWD and not only AWD as rumors are circulating making it equivalent to AMG C43 sedan. I also hope the manual transmission is available and not only in the m3.

I've come across this website multiple times. How accurate is it usually? April 2019 is much further into 2019 than I had hoped and power is down slightly.

So, no manual transmissions in the M340i.
Can't go the M2/3/4 route because i need AWD. (and pricing would be an issue anyway) Are there no 6SP+AWD options anymore ? Not interested in a 4 banger. |

So I'd guess its at least possible they will make a m340i 6MT if there was a ton of demand (and yeah thats the problem) |

Here's how it went down with my car enthusiast friends after marriage: 1) Sells M3, buys Lexus SUV 2) Said he would buy an M3 after wedding, wife wants massive house, he's still driving 12 year old civic. 3) Test driving RS4s before the wedding, after married wife said too expensive, comes home with A4 4) Sells classic 1960's Pontiac GTO, buys Mitsubishi SUV 5) Sells Corvette, buys F150. As for me, I told my fiancée that I would buy a Porsche 911 before we got married while it was still "my money". She laughed and said no problem that I could get my Porsche whenever, but that it if I helped pay off the wedding first, she'd help pay for the 911 if I let her drive it. Well we both "won". She still says that I can come home in a 911 whenever I want, but our wedding was paid off over 7 years ago....... I can't complain, just did ED this past June with my wife and new baby in a new F80 M3 and it was literally the best 5 weeks of my life..... Anyways, moral of the story, buy what you can NOW because life changes after that big day no matter what you think! |

I had a friend who had a MKIV R32. Always wanted an M3. gets married.... has a kid. ends up getting an x5 xdrive35d because of the kid. I remember at the time I had an estoril blue 328i and his wife said "you can get a bmw, just not in a color like that" Has second kid... trades in the x5 for a honda Odyssey (with a built in vacuum as he pointed out). Still has the r32 for weekends at least |
