Not only that but they also decided to boost output from the mighty V-8 to a tire-vaporizing 707 horsepower. The argument for adding the twin-turbocharged V-8 was to give the usually high-strung M3 some more low-end grunt as well as boost overall performance...

BMW may never again build a 2002-alike or another E30 M3, having moved on to bigger, safer, and more powerful pastures, but track geeks and fans of fast now have another Bimmer to lust after: the M3 GTS, officially launched in Europe this week. Along with the market launch comes some new performance details, including a brisk 4.4-second 0-62 mph time. That's not Corvette ZR1 or Nissan GT-R fast, despite the 450-horsepower, 4.4-liter V-8 engine under the hood and all the work done to lighten the car, but it's not far off those boosted mega-beasts, either. And with a factory-installed...

A few years back BMW was reportedly working on a new flagship four-door coupe based along the lines of the Concept CS but due to weak financial results the project was canned. The car was to be engineered by BMW’s M Division, which was intended to help give it the performance credentials necessary to compete with the likes of the Aston Martin Rapide, Porsche Panamera and Mercedes-Benz CLS. Fast forward today and reports are once again claiming that BMW is working on a new flagship four-door coupe.
