According to Willisch, BMW was reportedly mulling a V6 engine, but has decided to go with the inline six-cylinder. Now we have to see how many turbos the six-cylinder engine will have, but either way you can expect the new engine to pack more horsepower than the current M3 engine. Expect it to have around 450 horsepower. It will also be more fuel efficient when it debuts at the end of 2013.
