Good news for BMW fans, as the future generation of BMW M3 Sedan, M4 Coupe and M4 Cabriolet will be offered with the Competition Package.

The news has also been confirmed in an interview by Frank van Meel, the M`s chief: “We will be offering a Competition Package for each of the three body variants as of spring 2016.”

In the present form, all three models pack a 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline flat-six engine, with 431 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque, being sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed transmission. However, with the Competition Package, the models are rumored to deliver 30 horsepower more.

But the power increase is not the only good thing that the Competition Package will bring, as the cabin also benefit some extra goodies as well.

“In addition to extensive measures to further enhance driving dynamics and agility, this package also comprises various exclusive equipment details as well as an increase in engine output,” Van Meel also said.

The additional features refer to much lighter multi-spoke rims, or an updated rear diffuser with a custom exhaust system. So far, the details list is rather scarce, but we should be able to find out more in March, where the models are set to be displayed at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show.

The most powerful diesel engine you can have in a car that wasn’t designed with commercial use in mind comes from BMW.

Bavaria’s tri-turbo straight six cylinder develops 381 horsepower and 546 lb-ft of torque and does so beautifully smooth.

Some of the buyers say that they want more so BMW is now rumored to be working on an even meatier version of this record breaking motor.

Most complaints are that because the new powerplant is on the hefty side (astrengthened block and all that extra turbo gubbins do add up) its power gains are a bit muted.

Making the engine lighter is not really a possibility right now so giving it more power should make life easier. How much power?

Well, according to some reports, the new power figure could sit around 420 horsepower. That’s the same figure as the petrol burning V8 in the E92 M3.

The torque figure will probably grow as well so the M3’s powerplant will really feel like it’s falling behind after this.

Some suggestions have been made that the mandatory four wheel drive transmission this engine is delivered with should be dropped.

BMW insist on keeping it, since the torque would very likely be murderous four just two tires to handle when accelerating hard.

The more powerful tri-turbo diesel engine will likely make an appearance in the facelifted version of the M550d.

Somehow, no mention of it making it over to the bigger brothers the X5 and X6 was made. You’d imagine the SAVs would welcome the increased power even more.
