Power climbs from 451 to 507, but torque barely moves (from 443 to 450). You should educate yourself on the difference before making comments on tire thrashing.

If it's so special edition why would they up the hp output but do nothing to suspension on a car that in my opinion does not compare handling wise to an M

+1... go drive a 2012 car with the REVISED suspension and report back. Yes, the M3 is still a little more nimble and a little better balanced but it is very, very close.

IMO, having owned both, the M3's biggest advantage is the DCT vs. the MCT and it handles heat better at the track. These advantages disappear on the street. For some, those advantages are offset by the power/torque of the 6.2L AMG engine. Similar cars with similar overall capability but with slightly different personalities... magazine bench racing FTL!!

Bmw special edition means different paint, same performance.
