No V8 for the M3 or X3M . The advent of a new high tech Six Cylinder means better efficiency and less weight to contend with regarding the drivetrain.
Both X3M and X1M will be the "launch pad" for the new M3 and M2.

Both M3 and M2 Coupe's will launch in 2014 respectively.

M2 will use a variant of the Six Cylinder but cut down to four cylinders but will remain the more powerful option in the 2er family.
M2 will be less ltd production model than the E82 as it is now destined to be a series production car.

Time was running out with the E82 and that is why the E82 is with us in the twilight of it's life... If only the car was committed to a few years back.
