Isn't this already common knowledge? The X3M competition has over 500hp and the next M3/4 should share the same engine.

So yes the M6 did run in GTLM (as did a Z4). We know for certain that the M4 GT3 will replace the M6 for 2021, still no confirmation that will translate to an M4 GTE (GTLM). As mentioned in my other post, that is entirely possible based on the past, but I also think it is possible that BMW uses its future mid-engined “halo” car in GTLM as it would align more with the competition.

@Pic18 appreciate the complete summary! Scrippy GTLM is considered the factory team... GTD/GT3 is not.
This is a pic of both M6 in IMSA probably in 2016 |

Very nice of the M team to get all the M cars on the track competing. M8 M4 and M2.
I say ditch the M one off and get some INDYCAR/F1/protype going as a motorsport crown. |

Grille is not looking good. Also this whole thing with the 500 horsepower, the current generation Mercedes C63 AMG S has 500 horsepower and that has been out for almost 5 years since early 2015.

Yes I would think so. The M4 Competition is the coupe version of X3 and X4 M Competition. Too bad people have to wait until 2021 for the coupe and sedan versions that are supposedly done.

They have been known to perform the shady business practice of de-tuning, though. See M2C.

Are you referring to the M2C as being detuned compared to the M4C? If so that’s because the 2 is a lower, less expensive model than the 4. The M3/M4 are not lower models than the X3/X4 M, they are sister cars. They’re not detuning the M3/M4, there’s be no reason to in the model hierarchy.

It's adorable how people think that's an actual picture and how cool it looks...
It's an illustration folks...

Yes, it's an illustration of the race car. It is not an actual photo of the race car. People are commenting on how great this looks with the big grills, but you can't even see half of them. And it's not a real picture, it's just a drawing. It has no bearing on how the G80/G82 will look.
