Also, fuel tank capacity appears to have gone down to 15.8 gal. I'm glad to see the mpg figure go up, but I was hoping for a slightly larger tank than the E92, perhaps 17 - 17.5 gal.
Overall, should be a stunning car to drive and look forward to their arrival.

Being a former C63 owner I will agree it burns through tires. But the new M3 has less weight to propel and still about 40 less torque. The C63 also had a very aggressive alignment. I only got 6k miles from my stock tired then 9k on my replacement mich pps tires, fronts lasted 25k. |
I spoke to a guy and its not only about the torque. The c63 doesnt have room for a much wider tire, which it needs.
