There's a small write-up in this week's Autoweek about the new M3. This thing is a little monster! Actual 0-60 in the high 4's...but, it will be rated at 5.4 so it doesn't appear to tread on the mighty M5. 3.4L six, Double VANOS variable valve timing, individual throttle butterflies, 6 speed Getrag, 340 hp, 270 lb-ft of torque and an 8,000 rpm redline. Yeehaw. The US model will have the same power as the Euro version.
