Bimmerfest scooped the M3/M4 engine details a few months ago, they claimed output would be 415hp/395lb-ft.

Interesting discrepancy between the two.

Maybe it gets 395 with an overboost mode like the 1M Coupe. They also have sound of it at idle as well.

That's what I got the last 5 times I tried to view this post.

Now that I've seen it, I have to admit I like it more than I initially wanted to like it. The choice of colour is a bit too bold for my taste here, but the form looks quite promising. Can't wait to see the real deal come time.

Are you a BMW engineer releasing stats on the internet!!!?!?!?

Being a dick because I didn't think everything was released for sure yet, just rumors.

Bimmerpost leaked details months ago.

It's mostly been met with skepticism here, but Bimmerpost has had a very high degree of accuracy in the past so I choose to believe them.

I don't doubt them, but I wouldn't be surprised if BMW bored it out a little bit either though.
