The next gen E90 M3 will have the M5's engine minus 2 cylinders to make it a V8. I have read some rumors on an 9,500 or 10,000 RPM redline...

I like the fact that the S2000 is the only production car with a 9000 redline. It will be a sad day to be out revved by a bmw

Why is that...do u think BMW is inferior to Honda? New S2000's no longer rev to 9000 RPM's by the way.

Here is another engine that you just marvel at the technical specifications, & it just sounds amazing in every sense, but I just hope it does not run into as many problems as the M3 engine. We have all heard about the early batch failures , but now my friend's M3 just got recalled for a bearing problem. Could just be these engines are just too close to the edge in terms of engineering to be very reliable.
