    2020 BMW M3 (G80) Rendered – What We Know So Far

    The new BMW 3 Series has been revealed in Paris, so we’re naturally already looking ahead to the M-version of the new car. Although the car on which the new M3 will be based has only recently been unveiled, we’ve already got lots of info on the new car which has confusingly been called the G80.

    The next version, due 2020, remains faithful to the twin-turbo 3.0-litre found in the current car. The power output of the next-gen base car is said to equal that of the limited-edition M4 GTS, which musters 493 hp (368 kW) and 600 Nm of torque.

    BMW will likely add optional on-demand all-wheel drive, output boosted by a 48-volt mild hybrid system, electrically spooled turbos and the GTS’s water injection system.

    While the M3 (G80) retains four doors and five seats, the rear bench will again be a delete option for the future M4 GTS. Like Porsche, BMW intends to offer three types of seats, from lightweight fixed-back carbon fibre buckets through conventional sports seats to fully adjustable comfort seats.

    We should expect to see current seven-speed dual-clutch transmission abandoned in favour of an eight-speed auto offering a choice of shift speed and shift patterns.

    “In terms of character, the next M3/M4 won’t be as sharp-edged, harsh-riding or aggressive as the current car. Instead, a more compliant and cohesive suspension set-up is claimed to provide superior control at the limit, boosting confidence. Compared with the current Competition cars, the future calibration is less nervous, more transparent and better balanced overall – all of which is good news.

    And although M Division’s engineers are determined to take out weight, they must first compensate for the extra kilos brought onboard by the water injection, the heavier 19in and 20in wheels and tyres and the standard-fit aero kit, which includes bigger ducts and deflectors.”

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
