I'm a huge M-3 fan(had a 98 Dinan supercharged M-3 that had 355 hp/307 torque weighed 3200 Lbs) but this iteration is ridiculous. Imho.

The new M3 is 73kg heavier than the outgoing E46 M3. It's a ;arger car with a lower center of gravity and mass centered inside the 4 tires. It has 87hp more and alot more usable torque.
The car just looks BIG, but after reading the broshure a couple of times and realize what the engineers did with centering the weigh of the vehichle so it behaves like a mid-engine car is remarkable.
