Old article: Auto Motor und Sport claims M2 will have 380PS from S57 engine
http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/n...e-8361435.html
Not sure how accurate this is, but they refer to the new straight six engine and calls it the S57... Google translate: Quote:

Great info as always, Boss.
This makes a lot of sense, and puts the M2 where you would expect in the lineup.

Better color choices, inside & out, would be nice.

Meh, this is just a rehash from what autocar reported late 2014.

I don't think this article is accurate.
It has no date. That sort of thing makes me suspicious. Also, The web page has an English translation option and I can't find the article there. Frankly, the reference to AWD and a new engine type (slated also for the 7 series??) makes me believe this is either an old article written when rumors were all over the place or written by an out of touch correspondent looking for something to do. But then, I haven't finished my coffee, so if I'm wrong, I'll blame it on that. |

Check the 00:42-00:54 section (shifting on Karussell + flooring it hard):

Almost sounds like a formula one... great high pitched whine!

Turn up the volume and listen, specifically, to the sound track during video seconds 52 through 54. Sounds great!
