The first thing you'll be wondering is what's lurking under the hood. Both cars ditch the outgoing M3 Sedan and Coupe's naturally aspirated 4.0-liter V8 engine rated at 414hp (420PS) at 8,300 rpm and 400Nm (295 lb-ft) at 3,900 rpm for a new 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline six producing "approximately" 424hp (430PS) and 500Nm (369 lb-ft), which the automaker says, "is maintained over a very wide rev band". BMW did not release acceleration figures.
V8の4リッターNAエンジン（420PS/400Nm）から、直6の3リッターツインターボエンジン（430PS/500Nm）に変更。
Despite the rumors for the opposite, the new M3 and M4 will be available with a six-speed manual as standard, while a seven-speed M Double Clutch Transmission will be offered as an option.
デュアルクラッチ（セミオートマ）はオプションで、6速マニュアルがスタンダード設定。
According to BMW, the kerb weight of the M4 has been reduced to less than 1,500 kg (3,307 pounds), making it around 80 kg (176.4 lbs) lighter than a comparably equipped E92 M3 Coupe.

やっぱM3系は、直6だよね。
屋根はカーボンだそうです。
