The F80 has a much better chassis and it is lighter than the former E90 so it will need less HP to go faster.-M

I've had the very first of each of the last M3s in Oregon. I have faith that this will eclipse the current E92, though we may miss the V8 sound. I just hope they get the weight down as promised. I could live with the current hp + additional torque and less wieght.
