Wildspeed has released a new version of the 2014 BMW M3 F80. The sports saloon features an aggressive design influenced by the more recent offerings by the M Division – the new M5 F10 and M6.There are a lot of rumors that the new M3 will come with a twin-turbo V6, which will ruin a lot of the car’s reputation, so probably the manufacturer will keep the tradition with an in-line six-cylinder power plant.

By today's standards, it's an antique. A ten-year old dinosaur. A car that uses coal for fuel. Okey, so we got a bit carried over here. It's the BMW M3 E46 – a generation before the latest one. Don't be deceived though. G-POWER, the guys who got their hands on it, say it is now more powerful than the current V8 powered M3. The performance package installed is called the SK I „SPORTY DRIVE“ and if the figures they give are correct, the word “sporty” is a massive understatement – 450 hp and 460
