Lol joke of the day. Dude, historically BMW builds high revving NA engines for their m class. For the first time it is being speculated that the next m3 will be force inducted, and a variation of guess what engine will be used?! Thats right, the n55.

I highly doubt that BMW built 2 engines side by side for the same platform because "they didn't know which one to go with"
