<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/">BMW</a> took the wraps off its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/08/16/bmw-m4-concept-monterey-2013/">M4 Concept at Pebble Beach</a> last weekend, and many speculated that the highly anticipated production version of the sleek new two-door sports coupe would debut at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/la-auto-show/">Los Angeles Auto Show</a> later this year. But a well-placed source tell <em>Autoblog</em> that the E92 M3's successor won't arrive in Southern California this November. Instead, the German automaker will wait until the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/detroit-auto-show/">Detroit Auto Show</a> in January for its first official reveal.<br />
<br />
An all-new 3.0-liter inline-six with twin turbochargers is expected under the hood, and it should provide about the same horsepower as the current 4.0-liter V8 (rated at 414 horsepower), but with much more torque that arrives lower on the tachometer. The lightweight engine is said to have an impressively high redline, which is unusual for a turbocharged engine.<br />

Unfortunately, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/save+the+manuals/">Save the Manuals</a> members aren't going to like this next bit of news. After four generations of three-pedal <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/m3/">M3</a> models, our source says the upcoming F82 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/bmw+m4/">M4</a> will arrive with a dual-clutch transmission (DCT) as standard equipment - with no manual option - just like the latest iteration of the track-ready <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/porsche+911+gt3/">Porsche GT3</a> (few have complained about the automaker's PDK after driving the latest sports car from Stuttgart). In exchange for some moans, groans and gripes from enthusiasts, BMW's DCT mounted aft of the M4's inline-six will provide quicker acceleration and improved fuel economy.<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/08/21/bmw-m4-to-debut-in-detroit-lose-manual-transmission/">BMW M4 to debut in Detroit, lose manual transmission</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Wed, 21 Aug 2013 13:40:00 EST.
