I assume you've quoted US gallons...so a 60 litre tank. In which case on the combined cycle stat's you'd be getting 328 miles range (528km). Given that the euro testing is generally optimistic, we're looking at sub 300mi/500km range. I am surprised. |

Low fuel capacity is in part how BMW got the car down to 3,300 lbs. They do that all the time in designing motorcycles.

This would also take a somewhat typical 250 mi range (running her dry) up to right about 300 mi. That's also great.

Dumbest comment I've heard so far. The exterior design of the f30 and f80 are so similar that non enthusiasts won't really even notice a difference. So if an f30 looks like an old Hyundai so does the m3. Drives like an old Camry?? Yeah....ooookay. Some people on this forum really need to grow up and not say such extremely ignorant comments like yours. Stop with the rediculous bashing, you sound like a unknowledgeable moron. They're all based on the same car for the most part. The 335i is a great car and very capable. M3 just makes it perfect. Old hyundai.......? Unreal.

Since you brought up the S52, I will use mine for a positive example of how I have seen BMWs take more power than they are designed for. I gave my car 13psi on the stock/original head gasket for 10k miles on a BAD tune, AA of course. The car held the abuse, even the stock clutch hadn't slipped and the original brakes still in place at 80k miles. I only put in a cutring headgasket for insurance as I threw in cams and planned for 16psi with a proper tune and more exhaust work. So it's not apples to apples, but it gives me faith in the robustness of the major components on an M car.

I thought they already stated Michelin Pilot Super Sports? Those are not run flats.

Yeah, but doesn't mean Michelin didn't make a set just for BMW.

Fair enough! BMW does tend to have pull in all sorts of outside vendors.

BMW included a tire "fix-it" kit under the trunk mat. If I had to bet, I would bet all the money on no run-flat tires.

Small remark: did anyone else notice how far to the right the i-drive controller is placed on the midcenter console? It looks like it's almost out of reach ?
I just happened to look to the Z4 thread (on bimmerpost homepage) and there the i-drive controller is place left of the middle of the center console... http://f80.bimmerpost.com/goodiesfor...32_highRes.jpg |

They're still rolling with that because BMW knows, deep down, that proper tires should be on proper M cars like yours and like the new F80 M3.
