I, for one, cannot wait to get my hands on one of these cars.

So does this mean the car will be another, (approx) 40lbs lighter if you opt for the CC brakes ? 3306 - 40 = 3266lbs OR 176 + 40 = 216lbs lighter than a comparable E92 M3 |

I'm sure BMW know what they are doing. Besides, I remember when they decided on a V8 for the E9X M3.. And now look at 'em! |

Can't wait, this car will be epic.
Yea...would I have liked a NA V8 instead? Yes, however, the whole package of how this car performs is more important to me at the end of the day...and if the weight savings + other refinements + power/tq/hp add up to a better M car - isn't that the point? The big problem (some say) with the new M5, was it became a less communicative M car, softer, heavier by 200kg...Fact is, the new M3/M4 is pointing towards a lighter/more powerful/more communicative car with the driver in every way - how the hell can that be bad? Detractors should re-evaluate how they're judging this car at this point in time. I think the risk of this car being a slouch / disappointment is a long shot. |

The Corvette has always been an amazing value. I really like the way the C7 looks. I just don't want a Corvette. But it's an amazing car.
Can't wait for the unveiling in January. |

If the Corvette had two small seats in the back like the 911 and GT-R I'd be all over it. Can't put a kid seat in the front! |

So one thing that makes a driver more connected to the car and brings confidence on track or off track during hard driving is taken off in a high performance car in name of 3kg saving. So he is justifying 3kg on car that is loaded with tons of things that are frivolous enough to not only add weight but make you wonder why?? Sir, how about leaving that 3 Kg on the car so we can actually enjoy driving our high performance cars. Do not make an M car into a PS4 simulator in name of the mass of two grocery bags. If you were that concerned about 3 kg then you guys should have used CF hood, CF trunk, CF bumpers front and rear. Quote:

2 things bother me. The longer gear ratios compared to the M5/M6 DCT, which are already pretty long, and the fact that the S55 isn't built under M's control. Is M cost cutting, or do they not feel the motor is up to par with their standards? Other than that, reviews could not come any sooner. Let's release these things!

It will be one amazing car for sure. Some posters want this car to be 100% perfect, you got to ask yourself, are you willing to pay a lot extra for it ? Probably not
