The new engine weighs 33 lbs. less than the outgoing M3's six-cylinder. The V8 produces 420 horsepower/295 lb-ft at 3900 rpm, with 8400 rpm redline. Performance will be 0-62 mph in 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 155 mph (electronically limited). A proper 6-speed manual transmission will be available instead of the new trend toward semi-automatics. | | | | The E92 M3 will be available in three flavors; coupe, sedan, and convertible using a retractable aluminum hard top in place of the coupe's carbon fiber roof. Kyosho unveiled their scale model replica of this awesome performance car. Two colors will be available beginning in the first half of 2008. The model will feature a carbon fiber look roof panel similar to the carbon fiber reinforced roof of the production car. | | Kyosho Diecast Model 1:18 2008 BMW E92 M3 | | | | BMW E92 M3 in Blue
