BMW claims that when fitted with the optional seven-speed M Double Clutch Transission, the M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe - the true successor to the M3 badge - will sprint to the century mark in 4.1 seconds. It also claims the new in-line six engine is bundled to the famed M Twin Power Turbo technology for a maximum output of 431bhp with peak torque of 550Nm.
Manufacturers can claim and boast technical figures on paper to generate public interest, but judging from the above video the new M twins have the power and track credentials of a performance sedan.
Christmas might be over, but we wish for either of the pair to reach our shores soon.
