Another article: End of the V8 for BMW?

I stumbled across this today. I hope its not a repost but if it is feel free to remove it. I know many people have talked about this but this is just another article to add to the list about the end of the V8. Makes me kind of glad to possibly get one of the last V8 M3s.

I think this article is referencing the V8 engines found in mass produced models, and does not necessarily reflect on the M3 V8, which are already produced in small quantities (relatively speaking).

Not that this is definitive, but the article includes a pic of the M3 V8.

this is almost like when American Muscle Cars with huge displacement disappeared in the 70s and it will be interesting to see if BMW goes thru with this and than we might very well have a collectable

I will still only believe it when I see it
