BMW M 3, generation 4

As without brakes as the sales of the sportily inspired Mittelklässlers also price and achievement developed. 1987 if still 58,000 Marks for the membership in the M 3-Club were to be paid, then would be now 130,556, if there were the D-mark still. If still 200 HP were located to beech in the first model, there is now 420. The number of cylinders doubled themselves, from at that time four in row faces each other now two banks of it in V-type. And instead of an engine speed of 6.700 the crankshaft rotates at that time under full load today 8,400 times in the minute. That is 140 times in each second. “High speed concept” calls BMW that and because thereby so well technical authority can be proven, it gives also with AUDI and Mercedes such engines.
