I mean, there is still going to be an M3, it's just going to be a 4 door. So the M3/M4 will both have the boosted I-6. If the M3 fans were able to get over the M3 from going to a straight cylinder motor in the E46 to the V configuration in the E92, I'm sure they'll be able to get over death of n/a motors in the ///M's.


IMO, I'd be much more upset that BMW "rebranded" one of their best cars from the M3 (the name has tons of heritage & recognition) to the M4 simply b/c they wanted to seperate the 3s as four-doors from the 4s that will be 2-doors.
