2014 BMW M3 rumored to have a V6 under the hood

BMW will unveil the 2014 BMW M3 next year. InsideLine reports that this vehicle may be powered by a V6. Rumor has it that a highly advanced 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 is being developed by BMW for this car. The same publication also says that rejection of the inline-6 is related to its packaging and that BMW though of the V6 as a more perfect fit.

“The new V6 will be the first to mount its two twin-scroll turbochargers within the vee-angle, mirroring the company’s 4.4-liter V8 design. The  This unique-to-BMW approach reduces the length of the inlet tract compared with a regular turbo-vee setup, helping to sharpen throttle response and minimizing heat buildup after air passes through the intercooler.”

The new engine can deliver around 429 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque.
