To the people saying the M3 should have been this way all along - really? You would pay this kind of premium for a car badged M3? Or perhaps it should still cost $57K? C'mon people performance comes at a price - deal.

For all those that will never be able to afford a car like this (which is 99.99% of people on this forum) be grateful that BMW is developing technology for this car that will someday translate into the regular, ordinary M3.
Not really. M3 is heavy and one of the reasons is that it has unnecessary features in it. So don't put those, and hey, it is lighter, and it costs less to BMW to manufacture. For the difference, they can put more aluminim and cf, make it even lighter and still sell it for 58k$..
