This is very exciting. I have a few questions maybe some of those more familiar with racing can answer.

With M3 production ending soon, how does this affect the current M3 running in DTM for 2012? Surely they wouldn't run the old M3 when the new one is announced. Or would they?

ALMS - the M3 has been doing great in the American LeMans Series with the NA V8. When the new turbo M3 is released, BMW will HAVE to use the 6 cylinder turbo engine right? They can not run with the current V8 unless its considered a "production vehicle". They have had similar issues in the past when they ran the V8 E46 M3 GTRs. They swept 1-2 wins but did not use a production engine so there were some problems.

Any insight from more seasoned ALMS and DTM fans would be greatly appreciated.
