At 474 HP for the standard car - 454 for a "pure" model that has manual only - and a host of potential 500+ HP CS, CSL and other versions - I am going to have to guess the balance of power to the ground (I am going to guess a mid 11 second 1/4 at low 120 MPH) and the reduced weight and size of the 3 series platform (and apparently 130 lbs lighter than the existing M3/M4) - plus the reduced price versus the M5 - could make it the ultimate goldilocks car for BMW.

I am certainly keeping my eye on it.
