It has something to do with not wanting to step over the M5's toes M3 can't be more power than M5... we surely dont want that to happen, or at least they dont want it to happen. And plus 6 cyl to claim fuel economy... Corvette doesn't care about fuel eco... and it would be blasphemy for the Corvette to get anything less than the V8.

The funniest thing about them advertising "efficient dynamics" is the commercial with the GTS, M5, and 1M. They try to use these cars to advertise "efficient dynamics". But the M3 GTS is a gas eating machine, the new M5 has a gas guzzler tax, and the 1M can't even be purchased anymore. Stupid commercial. |

It sounds okay, could be worse.
With that said - it looks fast. I think that's what matters most - no? Either way, it's coming along nicely. Surely the end product will sound better/different. And as far as the redline goes - no way it can be more than 7k or so (based on this latest video). Maybe 7.2-7.3k if we're lucky.

How do you figure?
In one of the videos it runs with an E92 at the same pace, and elsewhere to me it seemed like a very well composed chassis masking a pretty hefty weight. Is there any more info on the M2?

Just like the F30 was declared to be lighter than the E90, yeah right. Will it matter one bit if it's 50 lbs lighter?

I am sure it will be very fast but still that sound
BMW you cannot give us a V8 then take it away in the next model.

I doubt that they will meet that goal exactly but just the fact that BMW has stated something like this will likely mean significant weight loss, not just a few pounds. What's with all the negative nancys around here? |

I think I am going to for sure buy the E92 M3. I don't like the sound of this car one bit. I would really like to see what the exact specs are of this car and can't wait for the current M to face off with this M

Is that what the squeaking sound (under heavy braking) was? I was wondering why the brakes were squeaking so much... I hate that sound.
