Wow. This is getting pretty sad. Each day we learn of yet another feature being nixed due to cost constraints.

The bimmerfile article is full of contradictions. They start off by saying how M engineers are trying to emulate the feel of the e30 M3, and how the feel of the e30 was due to light weight. In the next paragraph they go on to say that reduced weight of 1M depended on use of CF, but that is not feasible due to costs.

This is looking more and more like a cynical marketing ploy and not a genuine attempt to capture the feel of previous M cars. Sad.
