This far in advance, the details cannot be certain. If the M3 had 410 hp or so and keeps the wieght down, along with the far better weight distribution compared to Audi, it will be smoikin'. You can bet BMW knows the competition intimately. The delay in release may be to hone details to make sure it is the best in its class.
At least they seem to be working on the braking issue. Looks like it could be a 4-pot caliper to me:
