I have owned 4 M3 convertible in a row (3 E46 M3 Convertibles and my current 13 E93 Convertible) and I have to say that every angle of the F83 M3 blows previous versions away. I was planning on getting MG and this sealed the deal, at least when it comes to exterior.
BUT, given that I actually care (a LOT) how the car drives, I'm still disappointed by the lack of weight reduction. My E46 M3 Convertible was 3,800 lbs w/SMG (I believe). How many generations of M3 convertibles is it going to take for them to get back to 2001 weight!?! Here's to hoping that the wider stance and 100 lbs less weight makes this feel a LOT more nimble than the current E93 M3 (I'm not optimistic). Perhaps the extra torque will help a little as well.
I'm reserving my true judgment until I see the car in-person and drive it. But I'm still blown away by how good this looks for a convertible, especially in MG... Good job BMW - hopefully it will drive even better than the E93 M3!
