thats what i thought at firs,t but that white reservoir thing on the left side of the engine in the F30 335 looks like it would get in the way of the brace

Should fit, that reservoir looks as to sit below the wiring "loom"(don't know what its called) and the brace itself sits over the "loom". Since i noticed that both cars have the same "loom" in similar positions, granted thats only if they are mounted in the same place.

Obviously it won't be a GT-R competitor. Not even close. But the GT-R is HIGHLY competent as both a tourer and a track monster 2+2 saloon car. What's $15k when you're dropping $80k already? My point being, BMW needs to offer people more performance for their dollar these days. Performance is getting cheap from all angles in the car industry. |

What's next? An M with KERS?
And it sounds like shit on toast! Had the same issue with my X6M. At least E92 M sound great standard and even better with an Akrapovic X6m just sounded abnoxious with Akrapovic and DPs and I fear the same will be with this new M3 |

I always think M3 should be straight six cylinders (just stubborn me..) and it's nice to see it comes back with it!! Not sure abt 3 turbos though.....(3rd one being electric...) @@

Looks like the N55 for sure but highly modded. Sorry but it's gonna be the Twin turbo AMG V8 for me in the next C63. Now thats an engine. Tuned = beast. Sounds much better too.

Not many of us here can extract all of 240hp out of the e36 m3, let alone 450hp f80 m3.
What I care the most is the weight, the steering feel, & on & off track performance. The rest is just useless bragging rights. Cant wait to see the official specs & the actual car in person. I was gonna jump boat to Porsche on the next car, but the more news about the F80 m3, the more I like it. BMW, Keep the weight of your pigs down please !!!

There will always be Akrapovic to improve the exhaust note if necessary. |

It appears the new heat exchanger is in the way of a traditional cross brace.

I'll bet the V-8 M3s become collector cars in a few years.
