I am personally glad BMW is keeping the m3 in the ~430-470 crank HP range and focused instead of weight. I would've been far less happy if BMW had focused on 500 crank HP and the m3 weighed 3750-3900 pounds.

and I don't get your line of thought either. im not sure where, why or how the idea that you can only be lighter OR have more power, and not a combination of both came about.
why would anyone not expect BMW to lighten the car AND make even more power? how is that bad? why does it have to be one and the other? why would you assume that the car would have to be 3700-3900 pounds if it had 500hp? why not 3450 lbs (like the new m3 will weigh) and 500 hp?
for the life of me I don't understand why people think this
