i just heard someone say std manual = bad move?

I think the reference is in regards to what the DCT will cost $$$

Jason to clear up all the weight questions, you might want to add this info in original post. This quote from the press release best sums up the weight of the M4.

Quote:

The kerb weight of the BMW M4 has been reduced to less than 1,500 kilograms, which means the new model is now around 80 kilograms lighter than a comparably equipped predecessor model...

80kg = 176 lbs
E92 M3 was 3,704 unladen on US site.

M4 about 3,528 lbs unladen weight

Is this some kind of mechanical limitation somewhere? It is too... coincidental.

Pfft... Look at that "Dyno" chart and I think the limitation theory is completely accurate.

pkimM3r · 09-24-2013, 05:46 PM

yes, lets hope it doesn't rev match by itself all the time. Better yet, for me, its time to get a DCT.

Chris M4CS · 09-24-2013, 05:47 PM

Says staggered wheels...I wonder how the size, offset and bolt pattern compare to E92 M3s? I hate to have to buy new Morr wheels when I sell my M3 to get a new M4

Can't you disable rev match in the 370Z and new Stingray. Surely you would be able to in a BMW.

bimmer · 09-24-2013, 05:48 PM

A little down on torque (hoped for 400) very light, but electric steering is a bummer. I was hoping for hydraulic system. Well we'll see if we can live with electric setup. Tach looks like over 8000rpm but cut off probably at 7800. Not the best but ok.
BMW bring this beast out the shadow damn it!

mikeriley · 09-24-2013, 05:49 PM

Good sign full leather interior is in the works, anything to improve that cabin.

JRV · 09-24-2013, 05:49 PM

how exciting! now we just need the car!

OverDrive · 09-24-2013, 05:50 PM

From the dyno graph you can tell the approximate redline too!

Referencing from the E92 line and judging by the 2000 rpm scaling, it looks like redline for the S55 is around 7500 rpm. But then again power is constant from 5500 rpm and on as torque starts to dip significantly; so it won't give you the same pulling feeling of S65 all the way to redline which is understandable with turbos.

But overall I'm very impressed, especially with weight.

Kudos to BMW M!

I think I've just died and gone to heaven!!!!

ixse · 09-24-2013, 05:51 PM

to me 7800 redline with FI car is fantastic result. i might have to end my lease sooner than expected..

The press release says "substantially more than 500 Nm" (369 lb ft)!

NISFAN · 09-24-2013, 05:52 PM

Fantastic weight, and solid mounted rear, will be loud but great on track

biglare · 09-24-2013, 05:53 PM

Yum Yum Yum!!!

I might have to get on the list for one of these!

solstice · 09-24-2013, 05:53 PM

80 kg lighter than an E9X M3? Ok, I'm officially the first one disappointed in the weight. Above 3500 lbs US curb weight is a difference that will be hard to feel in comparison to the current car. Hopefully the strategic aspects of where the weight is removed will make every saved lbs worth two.

ChrisK · 09-24-2013, 05:53 PM

Did you guys notice the electronic valves on each side of the exhaust?

My 135i had this, but we modified it to stay open all the time

Anyone notice that the extended leather actually comes up on the dash now. You can see the stitches on two of the three cars. (random. I know no one gives a crap lol)

signes · 09-24-2013, 05:56 PM

Only thing better than all of this would be if they brought back the dipstick (CFRP, of course...

)
