    Default 2021 M3/M4 get 480 and 510HP RWD Manual

    Didn’t see this posted so sorry if it’s a repost. BMW confirms 480hp M3 and 510 HP M3 Comp versions with RWD and manual as standard on 480HP. Competition looks to be an auto. This should compete with the Blackwing coming out next year possibly?

    Edit: NVM...looks like there might be a AWD version as well.

    The M3 might be redeemable. But the 4 is gonna look like ass.

    If the S58 engine can propel a 4500 lb SUV to 0-60 in 3.3 seconds and 11.6 second 1/4 mile there's no telling how fast a vehicle packing 1k lbs less will be. These are going to be seriously fast cars.

    Finally, getting an AWD, I will have to pick one up when the AWD is available.

    Didn't they tell the designers there was going to be a number plate on the front?

    Not sitting here saying the X3M is slow (it's not), but nowadays the 0-60 time is not entirely representative of what the car is like to drive. The 5-60 is much more representative of performance and that's like 4.6 or something for that car, which more or less makes sense based on power:weight. disclaimer: I'm generalizing here, I haven't driven an X3M, just did some poking around to find the 5-60.

    To your point though, on a thousand pound diet with the same power train, the M3 is going to be a rocket. Assuming they can get the power down I could see it being very close to 3s (probably need the awd model to pull this off successfully) under the same launch control-destroy your car-conditions.

    ^Audi has been looking at doing this the last few years as well. Cheaper to build all the cars the same with all the features than to customize each unit.

    I wonder how they will combat tuners "hacking" the cars for features for a one time fee or cheaper price.

    I was about to say "great, I can only pay for them when I need them", then realized I live in a god forsaken place where the climate dictates I use my heated seats 8 months of the year.

    Not yet, but when I worked for them in Australia it was in discussion for future models.

    It is nice ... the new 340i is already very impressed, new M3/4 should be even better!

    I guess base model probably starts at ~ $85K, once you get the Comp model, AWD, loaded, say $120K
    The Original !

    Nothing new here. MSRP for my C63 was 109 or something and it didn’t even have every option.

    Tough not to jump to the M5 Comp from there ( can be had for ~140 nicely equipped ) which comes with a real engine.

    Also: who cares how "fast" a car is nowadays. Even legit DDs nowadays get you to illegal speeds within seconds.

    Also pet peeve: I don't give a flying fuck what a car's 1/4 mile time is. "Dude, it does a 11.2 in the quarter mile." Bragging about 1/4 mile times is like bragging about your meal the night before, but describing it in terms of how much it weighed rather than how good it tasted.

    Man, I'm in a mood today.

    Bench racing is how non car people pretend to know about cars.
