Why? We've said all along that it would feature approximately same HP, but around 100 lb-ft more torque (in range of 395 lb-ft) than the current M3.

You know that means 460hp and 400tq though right?

RMB · 09-23-2013, 11:03 AM

Thanks for posting Jason. This will be a good week!

FogCityM3 · 09-23-2013, 11:03 AM

Assuming 3,400lbs, that's a weight to power of 8.0 lbs per hp. Looks like will not be trampling on M5/M6 straight line performance.

dstrick · 09-23-2013, 11:04 AM

Gettin' it!

Moo · 09-23-2013, 11:04 AM

It's ok, just add a tune when they come out and you'll be over it

stefan · 09-23-2013, 11:05 AM

Doesn't mean a whole lot until someone dyno's it. Will this be a classic case of BMW under-reporting the HP numbers? You can bet on it!

Ashley Schaeffer BMW · 09-23-2013, 11:05 AM

Exactly what this site has been reporting all along.

I was always left scratching my head when guys would pull the 450HP number out of nowhere and say thats where it would be at.

IND-Distribution · 09-23-2013, 11:07 AM

Pretty exciting news since its been mentioned the car will weigh less than the E9X M3!

Less weight and more power? Whats not to like!

noushy · 09-23-2013, 11:07 AM

Obviously a $70k BMW M is not supposed to beat a $120k BMW M in straight line performance. Porsche does the same thing with the boxster/cayman and the 911

Brosef · 09-23-2013, 11:07 AM

Thanks for the info. I'm withholding judgement until I see a dyno graph and a curb weight figure.

Ioannis · 09-23-2013, 11:09 AM

Thats it ,any spec ? the Audi will the 450 looks good now

+1

I like it since I'm hoping that these relative modest power numbers indicates two IMO much more important things:

1. The weight is in the lower range of the rumours.
2. Big effort has been spent on keeping throttle lag to a minimum.
