Really disappointed by the weight of this car at 4620lbs its heavier than all its competitors and the Jag and AMG have V8s .BMWs are usually lighter than the competition, would explain why, at least on paper, its slower than those cars .

I'm really diggin' this Salsa Red/Orange color. Gives it a more youthful vibe over a traditional red.

I'm actually surprised they've given these cars a more mature and sophisticated look, especially considering they are siblings of the M3/M4. I was expect black plastic flared wheel arches, more protruding exhaust pipes, and maybe even more aggressive hood sculpting. Nevertheless, they've both turned out looking great!
 
The 4.4 V8 make 750 Nm right, so 600 Nm for the 3.0 I6 sounds fine?
Hi Klier,
of course 600 Nm sounds fine for daily use, but the same engine will have 50 Nm more in the upcomings M3/M4. Why did BMW decided to reduce it? that would be interesting to know if it a technical decision, or a marketing one.
 
Who says that?
Mr Georg Kacher in this article from CarMagazine.co.uk
"well i can't make any copy and paste of link", I don't know why it doesn't work. Anyway if you google "carmagazine.co.uk bmw m3", you should find his article dd Jan. 17th 2019.

at leat 480 lbf is making 650 Nm, or I missed too much English lessons at school? :D Forgein languages wasn't my thing at school.
 
The X3M and X3M Comp look great, a bit like a mini version of the last X5M. I am not a fan of the rear of the X4M so I would prefer the boxier X3M. I hope the new 6 cylinder engine will make a better noise than the current dull as dishwater engine in the F80 M3/M4. It is at least now on the same power level as the GLC63/GLC63 S and Stelvio QV so it will be a formidable rival.
 
There seems to be more emphasis on the Competition model rather than the standard M model. Target your higher margin.
 

BMW M

BMW M GmbH, formerly known as BMW Motorsport GmbH, is a subsidiary of BMW AG that manufactures high-performance luxury cars. BMW M ("M" for "motorsport") was initially created to facilitate BMW's racing program, which was very successful in the 1960s and 1970s. As time passed, BMW M began to supplement BMW's vehicle portfolio with specially modified higher trim models, for which they are now most known by the general public. These M-badged cars traditionally include modified engines, transmissions, suspensions, interior trims, aerodynamics, and exterior modifications to set them apart from their counterparts. All M models are tested and tuned at BMW's private facility at the Nürburgring racing circuit in Germany.
