The previous M3 had a naturally aspirated 4.0L 8 cylinder engine, the new version comes with a more powerful but smaller twin-turbo charged 3.0 L V6 engine. It produces a whopping 425 Horsepower at 5,500 rpm all the way to 7,300 rpm. This is thanks to the twin-mono scroll turbo chargers that help deliver up to 20.15 psi boost pressure to the engines intake. This engine also churns out 406lb per ft of torque at between 1,850 and 5,500 rpm allowing quite powerful accelerations and fast response.
