I love the look of the F80/F82. I think the car will have allot of new & cool tech options that we see now in the M5/M6. (Heads up display, heated & cool seats, surround view, connected drive) But, it missing one thing! The engine. BMW claims it will have the same hp but, 100lbs more tq. IMHO, M cars should be loud. Look at the C63. AMG can keep their V8, why can't M do the same? The current E9X weights allot less then the C63 already. I'm sorry to say but this may sound dumb but, I feel that this new engine will just be 335i (N54) on steroids. I'd say wait till the next generation M3/M4 in 2020 & I guarantee that BMW M switches back to the V8. Until then I will drive my 2011 E90 M3 for the next 7 years.
