Looks more promising. However, still have some concerns about the chassis feel and overall size. As will be based on series car (which many have argued and I would agree) doesn't feel as good dynamically as the E9x or E46, and given the cost-conscious focus of BMW (engine sharing), the issues they've had competitively with the M5, M6, and 3 series (losing comparos), it will take a lot to fill the E9x shoes. Not sure 440 turborcharged horses for a 150 lbs lighter car, with a weight to power ratio of around 8.0 lbs/hp with electric steering is going to be much of a "leap" performance wise or driving-dynamic wise. Probably a low 7:50s on Nurburgring (ever wonder why on industry days in April/May 2013 footage of the E90 M3 CRT still being driven around keeps popping up).
