The next generation BMW M3 coupe is set to be launch sometime in 2007. It will feature a V8 engine with a 400 hp power, so it will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 5 seconds. The top speed is expected to be limited at 155 mph.

The gearbox will be a six-speed manual or posible a SMG sequential manual. The new V8 will be more compact than the curent in-line six-cylinder. A longer wheelbase will bve also expected. The car takes many cues from the M5, with twin-exit exhausts, front wing vents, and discreet M badges, while the look of the all-new 3-Series means an aggressive nose and deeply sculpted flanks.
