People seem to be forgetting that modding this upcoming M3 will be easier with the FI, and thus - pushing out bigger numbers shouldn't be an issue.

That being said, and as multiple people have stated before me, the M3 isn't just about numbers and statistics. It's about an overall package with an unrivaled feel of the car. BMW captured the essence of driving pleasure in all their M3's; as long as this feeling is present in the upcoming one, I think they'll be amazing regardless of HP and torque figures, which aren't bad at all mind you (assuming 450 HP with at least 400 lb ft of torque)
