The F80 offers only a bit more power, but drops some pounds. CCB is NOT going to make a difference of 10 seconds. Tire choice can...one lap of brake use...No.

I'm glad he said "We've never been the king of traffic lights." Why are we so caught up in that Dogma?

Hey guy, I'm not sure we're reading the same thing. The point clearly states M3/4 is faster by MORE THAN 10 SEC. which could be anywhere from 11 to infinity seconds difference. Now slow your roll. |

Anybody tell me why the Automatic rev matching on the manual transmission is disabled in Sport+ mode but active in the Sport and Comfort modes? What's the reasoning behind that??

I'm glad you can disable it. It'd be terrible if it was always on and couldn't be turned off.

Also correct me if I'm wrong,(I know someone will) but the awd for AMG is no longer an option in the US, it's standard on the E class up,(excluding the SL/SLS class of course). |

The car sounds very exciting, I think they are underestimating how quick the car is around the Ring for these reasons:
1. Torque- this car has to explode out of corners 2. Less weight with bigger brakes 3. Larger tires, and 7 years of tire tech

Those questions and answers make me confident I am buying the right car. I love BMWs and how they feel to me. Theses execs understand that feel. It isn't only about money, it's pride in the product. I also like how they positioned the M235 as a "beginner" M car that people will move up and want a "real one" one day to avoid overlap. WELL DONE BMW!!!

Thanks for this Jason, really good read. Just what I had expected and hoped from the spec's its all about steering feel, weight reduction.
Oddly I re-read the statement about the M3 'naturally' being more aerodynamic than the M4.

lol hilarious. e9x fanboys at first said "bet it wont be that much quicker due to rpm limit and not much weight diff". now they still say "its mostly due to ccb, 10sec isnt as good". sigh.. when will you stop lol
they said LEAST 10sec faster, and lap times become much harder to shorten as times drop. just like how going from 200mph to 205mph is much harder than 180mph to 200mph. this car will eat e9x alive for breakfast even with normal steel brakes. |

Did they "hint" at the M2 at all? I ask because I thought it was interesting the way that they said the plan was to use a M235 to move people into the proper M3/M4.

Do we know if there is any way to turn it off in comfort or sport?? This would be a deal breaker for me. I really enjoy doing this myself and don't want to go DCT just yet. I also don't want to be in sport + during casual driving. |

It wont and I think that's asking too much to ask for this car's purpose. Its a true 4 passenger sports GT car for $64k. Heck...look at the Cayman S.

I drive in sport + mode all the time and don't find it too jarring. Don't let it be a dealbreaker.
