Ok, someone save me a headache. Is the weight less than 3306 lbs or is the weight 3500 lbs ?
Jason says its 3300 with 90% fuel yet others on this forum keep stating 3500. Please explain... |

It is more likely that the DCT will be standard while the manual transmission will be a no cost option as it is today with the M5 and M6 (and every other Fxx BMW with a manual transmission option in North America).

Well, this has me motivated to sell a lot of stuff tomorrow. If you work for an electronics contract manufacturer and need some components I'm your guy!

I'm with you as I honestly didn't think they could pull it off with the ever increasing weight of all their cars. Hats off to them for a great job making it 3300lbs

I love rev matching and I love heel toe shifting. I think people make it out to be some incredible skill though. It really is just practice. Most people can't do it because they have no reason to and don't even understand the need to. I do hope it's defeatable, but look forward to trying it out and enjoying it at the track when I'm getting tired and could use some smoother down shifts in slow corners. I'll consider it a reasonable alternative to DCT. I never want to give up my manual, but admit sometimes it would be awesome to have at the track. |

I'm waiting for more concrete info. The E92 was a "realistic" 3700lbs. Realistic being optioned how most people would buy the car (basically fully loaded) and with all fluids (after all you need the fluids to run the car...).
Is the M4 going to be 3300lbs DRY with no options and manual cloth seats? Or 3300lbs curb weight with fully loaded options?

Weight specs look great but doesn't anyone worry about the small turbos similar to the 335. I know it's a generalization but at 18.9 psi there is no way the aftermarket gains can be as great as on the 335 from aftermarket tuning.
Obviously not comparing the m3/m4 to the 335 as it will be obviously superior. Just thinking that no way will people see 150-200whp gains on the m3/m4 with tune and fbo due to the already high 18.9psi stock boost if the turbos are the same size as the ones on the 335. |

Nope....at least not on my car, but I dont have adaptive drive. I think you can defeat it in comfort mode with adaptive drive.

Defeated (no blip) in Sport+. Likely the same here. BTW - Active Sound is obviously blasphemous and stupid, but you all are worrying about something that doesn't actually have an impact (except in journo mags). It's inaudible and defeatable through coding.
