[QUOTE="Dinesh, post: 1063482875, member: 40303"] https://www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/bmw13.jpg The current generation BMW M3 will mark the end of the naturally-aspirated era for BMW M vehicles as forced induction has been earmarked as the future, meaning that all future M vehicles will be force-fed. Ever tightening emission standards mean that every automaker is trying to squeeze every last mile out of every last drop of fuel, with performance vehicles the first to be given a makeover. In Munich, that means turbocharging and start-stop tech, two technologies that will improve the F10 M5’s fuel economy by up to 25 per cent. A quick glance at BMW’s current M portfolio clearly distinguishes the odd one out in the induction department. Autoblog also quotes a source within BMW that has confirmed the V8 in the current M3 will be the last naturally aspirated engine in an M offering. While a turbo, no matter how linear or lag-free, will never compare to the high-revving, screaming nature of past M mills, the future dictates forced induction and apparently the clock has struck on that time. https://www.zerotohundred.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/bmw22-600x460.jpg [I]Source:[/I] [URL="http://autoblog.com"]Autoblog[/URL] [/QUOTE]
