IMO, there is no chance an F82 will hold a candle to a modified E92, considering the architecture is almost identical. On a warm track day, you should know better than almost anyone, the turbo car is going to soak up in heat despite how many coolers they have strapped it with and power will become erratic. The F10 M5 and F12/F13 M6 direly suffer from this, especially when caught up in the draft of another vehicle at the track. The new turbo M cars are very sensitive to aerodynamic flow being perfect at the front end for it's cooling, once disrupted, they limp.

Lastly, the Volumetric efficiency of the S65 is extremely high. Strapped with a charger it pulls like a jet, and not many cars out there can really beat it, unless we are talking about some very expensive super cars or even modified super cars. The twin turbo's on the S55 are extremely small, based on initial info that we have, they don't look much larger than the N54 turbo's. I don't see boost being able to risen much higher than it currently is before hitting choke on the turbo's map.

I think you kind of answered your own questions here....

If it were me, I would pay a bit more and get a 991 Carrera S with cup kit and power kit or a 991 GT3 if the creature comforts of the Carrera S aren't important to you. If you want to stay BMW, wait to see what the M2 has to offer. That is where I am placing my bets.
I'm looking into upgraded turbos already for the F80.. I think it's time to part with my love (e92 M3). I've had this car since 2008. Worse case, I'll buy another one or e46 m3 and make it a track car.

Cosigned. I could really give two $hits about being the first person on the block with a new this or that. I thought this thread was about something substantial i.e., weighing the merits of 2 potent vehicles, but it appears that it boils down to a pride thing.

Personally, as I said....your car is pretty schweet as is. If anything, I'd be waiting for Gintani's TT , but that's just me

Too late. He's already prepping for his F80.

Always fun being the first.



Other then power, that is the only thing stopping me from the M4. I dont know how much power I can squeeze with Downpipes, Tuning... I will probably have to do upgraded turbos to keep me happy.
Josh, I get wanting to be the first to have and mod it, but performance wise, you should look at the reality here.... the f1x m5 and m6 have been out for years now and still no one has been able to break the encryption on the ecu's. They're still relying on piggybacks years later which aren't even advanced enough to control timing and fueling. IF this is any indicator of the M4, then I think coming from what you've came from, you'll be in for a big disappointment. I think planning for upgraded turbos on that car is a bit immature as of now, the hardware is the easy part, and it's only an assumption that tuners will be able to tune it. And sure, you could slap on some dp's, a piggyback, etc and probably make 500hp, but I doubt it will be anywhere near what you've had in the past if they were even able to tune it. To add, it will probably take a 6 months to a year for the aftermarket to really catch up and crank out multiple options for coilovers, exhausts, etc. If I were you and wanted to switch it up for a similar price point, switch to another platform, like a 997.1 or 997.2 turbo for example. I'd skip on the M4, try it out maybe in a 6 months to a year when more parts come out for it and the aftermarket is sorted out. Hang onto the e92 if you want to stay BMW, or as Malek suggested, jump into another branded platform.

P car has crossed my mind, Ive already sported out the F80 performance mods and suspension.. not too worried about tuning.
