BMW is trying their best to compare it to any previous M3 because that's who they aim to sell it to. It's 10 seconds faster than an e46 on the ring...it has the soul of the E30 M3....etc. They are over marketing this car and grabbing at straws to connect it to M's past. I look at it as a new M car that has it's own identity. It's technologically savvy while remaining pretty simple. They are keeping the price down by not going gadget crazy and keeping some distance from the M3. It's very much a parts bin car but I think they are taking good parts from the M3 to make this work.
I'm putting a deposit down next week. White...no options. It will hopefully be turned into my club racing car within 6-8 years.
