Not sure how accurate this is. BMW has always been careful when it comes to non-M cars getting too close in power to M equivalents. A 360HP TT 340i and 410HP TT M3 seem too close. Anything's possible and it's too early to know for sure, but right now I'm betting it won't happen.

BMW has already announced the F01 740d (and presumably F10 540d in the near future) which is a 3.0L diesel with 300HP and 443 lb-ft. Honestly, this engine seems more likely in to be in the F30 lineup than what Car is reporting, and could be the 340 they're predicting.

I can't picture them downgrading the 3er convertible to a canvas roof either.
