As we're waiting for the official unveiling of the new M3, the one that will be replacing naturally aspirated engines on M cars forever, new spyshots and videos keep on surfacing on the web.
One of the most recent belongs to Youtube channel TouriClips, to which we say thank you. Yes! That is the new M3 in the video and, as you can see, the drivers are testing the wheels off the new sports sedan.

If the current rumors are true, the new M3 will be fitted with an upgraded version of the N55 engine, possibly dubbed S55 that will develop well over 400 HP, with a lot more torque than the E9x model that didn't benefit from the advantages of turbochargers.

Furthermore, the new M3 and M4 are being developed keeping a close eye on the weight of the end product, BMW wanting to bring to the general public cars that are as agile as possible and not just fast in a straight line.

Judging by the looks of this video, they are pretty close to that goal, on several occasions the car seeming to take off for a couple of inches. That looks like joy on four wheels!
