Thanks for the write-up.
Also; to all of you wanting more than 340hp... WHY? 340hp is more than enough for this car. If you can outdrive that much power at the track in a stock 1M setup, I'd be very surprised. If you want this power for straight-line speed, go buy a Mustang GT. It's mind boggling to me. This car sounds epic just the way it is.
I'd like to add that 451hp for this segment from BMW seems a little unrealistic. Makes sense in the next M3, however. Unfortunately I feel that we are going to have to kiss our high redlines goodbye.

Bingo. That's why it's 340hp and not more. The experience from the M car should be as you described! Nicely put.
