I'm torn about the specs, I sold my e92 and waited for this car with a lot of anticipation.

I have no doubt it will be an improvement but I'm not setting off fireworks yet looking at the torque and HP numbers. 430hp and 390tq is not something that keeps me up at night with excitement.

Even though BMW is known for conservative numbers I would've been a lot more excited with 450hp and 420tq numbers. Only because the weight reduction is something that most drivers will not notice. 80kg ??? Sure it's better than nothing at all but insignificant in everyday driving.

Having said that, I will definitely be test driving one as soon as they're out at my local dealer but I can't help but think why the M division couldn't squeeze out a little better numbers to truly distance themselves from the Audi RS and C63 for ex....
