That only means one thing, which is more torque across the rev range and a higher overall peak torque. That means much better daily drivability and a much stronger top end. It will also be more responsive to mods and I can bet getting 515 - 520 HP from it will be possible through bolt-ons and tune alone.
Funny how everyone used to b*tch about BMW not making true lightweight track cars. Now that BMW has done it and they did everything right, everyone still found something to complain about.
So many people are saying "too expensive". How do you know the price?? We don't even know if this is going to be imported into Canada and US. For all we know, it will cost 117,000 Euros in germany, which includes a huge a** 19% tax. Cars are very expensive in Australia and Europe. A regular M3 costs around $80,000 euros in Germany. There is no way you can conclude the price in North America by looking at the prices in Europe since the prices are determined independently.
I am willing to bet anything, it will be priced around the same as a GT-R and Z06 of around $90,000 - 100,000 in US. That is still very competitive for the type of performance it offers considering it is supposed to compete with GT3 RS.
