One thing I dislike about the new M3 is its low mileage figures. I'm hoping that the dual-clutch 7-speed transmission has slightly better figures so that it can avoid the gas-guzzler tax which the manual 6-speed transmission incurs. The extra torque would be nice at low revs as well, compared to the racy M3's engine.</p> <p>-CiaoBoy</p> It’s too bad this engine didn’t make it into the new E90/E92 M3.

That was just flat out wrong. What we have come to learn is that there will be a 555 using the twin turbo.

What we do know is that there will be a beast of a car in the 555 available in the future and indications are for the fall. Like all things BMW stuff can change at a moments notice so do not let that stop you from a purchase. The current 550i is an amazing vehicle.
