Title of the article: 5 secrets of the new BMW M3

1. V8, 4.4 liters, 425 bhp. Engine based on M5 V10. 4.6 sec 0-60.

2. Initially will be offered with SMG or 6 MT, later w/DSG (under development)

3. Coupe and sedan to have very different appearance (coupe almost switched to M4 designation, but marketing gurus protested).

4. CSL version also forthcoming (lots of carbon fiber, maybe no rear seats)

5. No convertible, but maybe a wagon, due to new 3 series heavy hard top convertible.
