I know right? That's what I'm saying, which apparently went above the previous 2 posters' heads. It's roughly the same size and more powerful than the E39 M5, and is 500 lb lighter. What else can you want,
given the size of the car.
I doubt I'm alone in wishing the M3 was still the same size it was during the E36 years, but BMW, like most others, loves to increase it's cars dimentions. Apply the technology from the F30 M3 to an E36 sized M3 and it's possible that car would be sub 3000 lb.
Yay hypotheticals!
