Looking very promising and quite high tech for the new M of the 3/4 series...
Power maybe 'just' 430HP; but weight is reduced with a minimum of 80kg. With uprated torque and lighter weight, the car will perform better on straights and more important through corners. Looking forward for a steer in the new M4. |

As I noted earlier, the press release says "significantly more" than 369 lb ft Tq, whatever that means.

It's too bad they went the wrong direction as far as weight/size for the m5....I think the m3 will be more enjoyable for me (besides exhaust). The engine surely is underrated. The true power should be at least 450hp and close to 400flbs torque |

Gives a nice, round 500 when measured in Nm....and probably tuned to have a BMW torque curve instead of turbo lag

Now let's hope that those carbon fiber seats that have been under speculation get homologated for the U.S. market. Though, with our regulation, it's wishful thinking at best.

Sweet. Wonder if it will be available for a ED by spring break (late March early April). Making a lot of trips to Germany this year.
Still dreaming of a sub 1000Kg Z2M.

>closed-decked crankcase
closed deck block they mean? why? it's not pushing crazy power, and that just adds weight = bad and cost = bad and that radiator setup looks ridiculously gumby wtf is that flat one? haha |

I'm sold, but will wait for the M4 competition unless they release an M4 CSL.
