How noticeable was the muffler? Notice any re-design in the rear bumper from previous shots?
I assume the side gills are functional? Did you feel heat escpaing from them?
You say the new M3 is just as quick as the CSL. I assume 0-60 runs feel similiar then?
Yes the muffler was noticeable, exactly as has been discussed extensively on this forum. To be honest I did not mind, and I'm sure once it gets a little dirty it would be harder to notice, but there's no denying it.

Side grills seemed aesthetic but the vents on the bonnet adjacent to the power dome are functional, well at least one of them. It seems to create negative pressure and draw more air in through the main intake.

It's hard to tell 0-60 by just the seat of your pants, but it feels quick and at least as quick as the CSL.
