3-Cylinder BMW M Model a Possibility Says Brand Boss

Times are changing in the world of high-performance cars, with better technology and a focus on fuel efficiency causing automakers to look for creative ways to deliver thrills.
 
That means there’s plenty of directions BMW’s M division can go in the future, one of which could include using a three-cylinder powerplant in the high-performance versions of the German automaker’s production models. BMW is currently working on a compact architecture that will be powered by three-cylinder engines and the M division is intrigued at the possibility.
 
Speaking with Car and Driver in an interview, Friedrich Nitschke, head of M GmbH, admitted that the “three-cylinder is an attractive engine.” He believes that a 1.5-liter, three-cylinder can achieve over 310 hp. In fact, Nitschke believes that might not even be the limit for those powerplants.
 
As for all-wheel drive, Nitschke confirmed that it won’t be making an appearance in the current-generation models except for the SUVs X5 M and X6 M. He did leave the door open to speculation, however, as M will take another look with the next-generation M5 – but that’s a long ways off.
 
Lastly, we can stop expecting bespoke engines from the M division in the future. Though they will still have standalone engines, the future of M models will be built on BMW AG engines, though they will be tuned for more performance, catering to the M customers. But we’ll no longer be seeing special engines built specifically for M models.

Motorer är allt mindre i förhållande till effekt / högre effekt till volym.
Idag kan man lätt plocka 100hk per liter, nåt som för 20-30 år sedan var nästintill magi så en M spis på 2,5l o 500hk är inget magi med dagens teknologi så räkna med mindre fläkt stressade motorer i nära framtid.  8)

BMW´s 3-cylinder har visat sig ha ett riktigt schysst motorljud (i alla fall på Youtube) så varför inte?  :)

Coolt, detta måste vara ett ordentligt steg framåt i explosionsmotorns utveckling.
