Best part is... most of our questions were answered

Sounds good... however with the C63 having different editions that churn out 501+hp, I expected just a little more than an 11 hp increase, 480 would have been nice. But there are always tunes out there...

No it's not.
My buddy brought his high precision scales from work one day at the track last year. We weighed both our cars. His (E46 6MT, premium sound, full tank) came in just over 150lbs lighter than mine (E92, DCT, iDrive, premium sound, full tank). We were both quite surprised with the results that we re-weighed them just to be sure. |

I've been following the N55s more since that's what I've got and the single turbo just isn't quite as easily tapped. BMS got around 310whp with just a tune (30whp'ish). I guess I should've snapped up the '12 335is instead of the F30 335i I ended up with... (I haven't dyno'd mine but my butt dyno says I got closer to 30whp like their car and not 60+ whp with their JB4 Stage 2 for the N55) As a note, the BMS folks and the community have come to the conclusion that the 550 engine is a detuned version of the M5/M6 and threw on a really safe tune and got 25whp out of it. Not sure what that may mean for the new M3/M4 though. |

Still reserving judgement until I see some comparos...barely. Still not blown away by ANYTHING I've seen yet. Today is no different. It is encouraging to FINALLY see some (underrated for sure) numbers but not on board yet. Secretly hoping this car will be epic even if it makes my car forgotten. Doubting this will come to fruition but waiting patiently to see for certain.

425hp and 500Nm will just not cut it against it's key opposition. I am picking minimum 450hp and 550Nm, despite what BMW say it is. |

He basically said "too much powa!". I laughed when he tried to subjectively quantify how much hp it had and referred to it as a Mustang GT with intake and exhaust at each wheel. |

I am really looking forward to more details tomorrow. Something to sweeten the power numbers from the engine today. I really want my M4 to be a leap ahead from the E92 I had.

Been on the road all day in Utah. It has been fun to log in here and see some data starting to come our way. Looking forward to tomorrow and especially regarding the weight.

Jason, you're the man. I knew it, BMW need this car to be epic and low weight is how you do it. Thank you BMW M for ( as it sounds ) living up to my faith in you. I'm busy writing the check for an F80 now
